Slowing Down by Henry Bliss – Limited Edition Surfboard Art

Description

Slowing Down is a limited-edition surfboard art piece born from a collaboration between ocean photographer Henry Bliss and Surfboard Trading Co. Henry's striking underwater photography is applied directly to an authentic, full-size surfboard and finished in gloss, transforming the ocean's movement, color, and depth into a sculptural statement you can hang on a wall - or take into the water. Limited to just 50 pieces, each board is individually numbered, making this a true collectible at the intersection of fine art and surf culture.

Designed for spaces where traditional framed artwork simply isn't enough, Slowing Down commands attention in luxury residences, contemporary coastal interiors, hospitality environments, and design-forward offices. Its elongated 5'7" form creates an architectural presence whether displayed vertically, horizontally, or leaned freestanding within an interior. And unlike decorative replicas, this is a fully functional EPS surfboard - built to ride just as confidently as it is built to display.
