Going Right by Ben Hicks – Limited Edition Surfboard Art
Description
Going Right is a limited-edition surfboard art piece born from the collaboration between Florida photographer Ben Hicks and Surfboard Trading Co. The centerpiece is a striking black-and-white photograph captured during a fall hurricane swell on Florida's Gulf Coast - specifically on the north side of Venice Inlet's jetty in Nokomis, Florida. Ben Hicks, who grew up in Venice where consistent surf is rare but the surf culture runs deep, seized a rare moment of raw Gulf energy and froze it in time.
The photograph is printed on premium fiberglass cloth, laminated directly into the surfboard with resin, and hand polished to a gloss finish - making it both a sculptural statement piece and a fully functional, surfable board. Limited to just 50 pieces, Going Right brings the spirit of the Gulf Coast to contemporary interiors, luxury coastal homes, offices, hospitality spaces, and curated design projects unlike anything else on the wall.

Why You'll Love It
Going Right occupies a rare space where fine art, surf culture, and functional craftsmanship meet. For collectors, interior designers, and surf enthusiasts alike, it delivers something no print or canvas can - the actual sculptural form of a real surfboard, carrying a one-of-a-kind photographic moment from the Gulf Coast. Its monochromatic tones give it an understated, architectural quality that feels at home in luxury coastal residences, boutique hotels, surf shops, and design-forward offices. Made to order with a 12-16 week build time (with expedited 6-week options available), each piece is crafted with the same care and attention as any high-performance shortboard. With only 50 ever made and each numbered with a Certificate of Authenticity, Going Right is as much an investment as it is a conversation starter - one that can be taken off the wall and paddled out when the swell hits.

FAQ
Where was Going Right photographed?
Ben Hicks captured Going Right during a fall hurricane swell on Florida's Gulf Coast. The photograph was taken on the north side of Venice Inlet's jetty in Nokomis, Florida, when south swell pushed into the inlet from a hurricane moving north through the Gulf of Mexico.
Is Going Right a real, surfable surfboard?
Yes. Going Right is an authentic, fully functional Surfboard Trading Co. surfboard. It features EPS construction, a gloss finish, and real volume (33.6L) - meaning it can be taken to the water just as easily as it can be mounted on your wall.
How is the photograph applied to the surfboard?
The black-and-white photograph is printed on premium fiberglass cloth and then laminated directly into the surfboard with resin. The board is then hand polished to a gloss finish. This process embeds the image into the board's structure rather than applying it as a surface decal or wrap.
How many Going Right boards are available?
Going Right is strictly limited to 50 pieces worldwide. Each board is individually numbered and includes a Certificate of Authenticity. Once all 50 are sold, no additional boards will be produced.
How long does it take to receive my board?
Each Going Right board is custom made to order. Standard build time is 12-16 weeks. Expedited 6-week builds are also available - contact us for details on expedited options.
Can Going Right be displayed as wall art?
Absolutely. Going Right can be displayed vertically or horizontally as sculptural surfboard wall art, or leaned within an interior as a freestanding statement piece. Its clean black-and-white aesthetic suits contemporary interiors, luxury coastal homes, offices, and hospitality spaces.
