Sharky Shoreline by Ben Hicks – Limited Edition Surfboard Art

SHARKY SHORELINE — BEN HICKS × SURFBOARD TRADING CO.

Sharky Shoreline is a limited-edition surfboard art piece created in collaboration with photographer Ben Hicks and Surfboard Trading Co. Featuring an aerial photograph of juvenile sharks cruising just feet from the Florida shoreline, the piece transforms a fleeting coastal moment into collectible, functional art.

Ben captured the image by drone near Pompano Beach, Florida, after receiving a tip that small sharks were moving along the shoreline. Photographed on a clear summer day, the image captures the contrast between the sharks, shallow coastal water and shoreline from a perspective rarely seen from land.

The photograph is printed on premium fiberglass cloth, laminated into the surfboard with resin and hand polished to a gloss finish. Display Sharky Shoreline vertically or horizontally as statement wall art—or take it to the water. This is a real, fully functional surfboard.

LIMITED EDITION

Limited to 50 pieces. Each Sharky Shoreline surfboard includes a Certificate of Authenticity.
