Sharky Shoreline by Ben Hicks – Limited Edition Surfboard Art
Description
Sharky Shoreline is a limited-edition surfboard art piece born from a rare coastal encounter near Pompano Beach, Florida. Photographer Ben Hicks captured the image by drone after receiving a tip that juvenile sharks were cruising just feet from the shoreline - photographing them from an aerial perspective almost impossible to achieve from land. The result is a stunning, one-of-a-kind image that freezes a fleeting ocean moment and transforms it into collectible, functional art.
The photograph is printed on premium fiberglass cloth, laminated into a full-size EPS surfboard with resin, and hand-polished to a gloss finish. Display it vertically or horizontally as a statement wall piece in a luxury home, coastal interior, office, or hospitality space - or take it to the water, because this is a real, fully rideable surfboard. Limited to just 50 pieces worldwide, each board ships with a Certificate of Authenticity.
Key Features
- Limited Edition of 50: Each board is individually numbered (1 of 50), making this a genuinely rare collectible for art and surf enthusiasts alike.
- Photography by Ben Hicks: Aerial drone image of juvenile sharks swimming approximately 10 feet from the Florida shoreline, captured near Pompano Beach on a clear summer day.
- Premium Print Medium: Photography printed directly on fiberglass cloth and laminated into the board with resin - not a decal or overlay.
- Gloss Finish: Hand-polished gloss finish that enhances the depth and clarity of the photograph and gives the board gallery-quality presentation.
- Fully Functional Surfboard: Built as an authentic EPS surfboard - displayable as art or fully surfable in real conditions.
- Dimensions: 5'7" x 21 1/4" x 2 5/8" with a volume of 33.6 liters - a versatile shape suited to a wide range of surfers.

Why You'll Love It
Sharky Shoreline occupies a rare space where fine art photography and functional craftsmanship meet - and there are only 50 in existence. Whether mounted on the wall of a luxury coastal home, displayed in a hospitality space, or leaned in a curated studio, it commands attention in a way that conventional wall art simply cannot. The aerial perspective Ben Hicks captured is raw and immediate, pulling viewers into a moment that most people will never witness in person.
Unlike decorative surfboard replicas, this piece doesn't sacrifice function for form - it's hand-built by Surfboard Trading Co. to surf, and built to last. For collectors, interior designers, and surf culture enthusiasts looking for something genuinely rare and meaningful, Sharky Shoreline is an investment in both art and craft that will only grow in significance as the edition sells out.

FAQ
Where was the Sharky Shoreline photo taken?
Ben Hicks captured the image by drone near Pompano Beach, Florida, where juvenile sharks were swimming approximately 10 feet from shore on a clear summer day. The aerial angle provides a perspective that is nearly impossible to achieve from land, making the shot truly one of a kind.
Is this a real surfboard or just a decorative piece?
It's both. Sharky Shoreline is an authentic, fully functional EPS surfboard built by Surfboard Trading Co. It can be displayed as collectible wall art - vertically or horizontally - or taken into the water and actually surfed. It is not a decorative replica.
How is the photograph applied to the surfboard?
The image is printed on premium fiberglass cloth, which is then laminated into the surfboard using resin during the board's construction. The surface is hand-polished to a gloss finish. This is a structural part of the board, not a decal or surface wrap.
How long does it take to receive my board?
Each Sharky Shoreline is custom made to order. Standard lead time is 12-16 weeks from the time of purchase. An expedited 6-week build option is also available - contact us for details on that option.
How do I display Sharky Shoreline at home?
Sharky Shoreline can be displayed vertically or horizontally as sculptural surfboard wall art, or leaned within an interior as a freestanding statement piece. Its 5'7" form makes it a bold focal point in living spaces, offices, hospitality venues, and coastal interiors. Wall mounting racks and display stands are available separately.
