Shaped by the famous Hawaiian shaper Rick Holt, this longboard is a perfect fusion of craftsmanship and artistic expression. The board is painted by Peter Bogdanov, drawing inspiration from the lush, tropical gardens of their Kauai homestead. The vibrant blue background evokes the clear skies or pristine ocean waters, providing a stunning canvas for the detailed artwork.
Against this vivid backdrop, Bogdanov has meticulously painted a series of alien orchids. These otherworldly flowers, with their intricate pink petals and exotic structures, stand out in vivid detail. The orchids’ petals, tinged with shades of red and white, seem to pulsate with life, their unusual forms suggesting an origin from a realm beyond our own.
The floral motif extends gracefully along the length of the board, with dark, sinuous stems and buds accentuating the composition. The juxtaposition of the delicate blossoms against the bold, dynamic lines of the surfboard's design creates a captivating visual flow, guiding the eye from the top to the bottom.
At the top of the board, an enigmatic eye peers out, adding a mystical element to the piece. This eye, with its intricate details and reflective quality, seems to watch over the surfer, infusing the board with an almost sentient presence. It is a nod to the interconnectedness of all things in Bogdanov's enchanted artistic vision.
