Palm Trees by Ben Hicks – Limited Edition Surfboard Art
Description
Palm Trees is a limited-edition surfboard art piece born from a collaboration between coastal photographer Ben Hicks and Surfboard Trading Co. - merging fine art photography with the sculptural form of an authentic, fully functional surfboard. Ben's striking tropical palm composition is printed directly onto premium fiberglass cloth, laminated into the board with resin, and hand-polished to a brilliant gloss finish. The result is a large-scale design object that commands attention in any space, from luxury coastal residences to curated hospitality environments.
Unlike decorative replicas, this is a real surfboard - built to surf, designed to display. Whether mounted vertically on a gallery wall, laid horizontally as a room centerpiece, or actually taken to the water, Palm Trees delivers the visual identity of coastal living in an unmistakable collectible format. Limited to just 50 pieces worldwide, each board includes a Certificate of Authenticity.

Will surfing the board damage the artwork?
The photography is printed on premium fiberglass cloth and laminated into the board with resin, making it an integral part of the board's structure rather than a surface application. Normal surf use carries the same wear risks as any surfboard, so buyers who wish to preserve the board in pristine display condition are advised to keep it as a display piece.
