Here are 3 different beach scenes. The mountain in the first two images is Diamond head; a Waikiki beach landmark. A name was added to the sunset design on the right. Adding a name to a design only takes a few minutes but it takes one hour for the clear coat to dry to the touch.

Custom airbrush artwork on a wooden, surfboard-shaped canvas, 20x5 inches. The vivid beach scene depicts a classic orange and white Volkswagen T2 or 'Splitty' van parked at Sunset Beach, North Shore, Oahu, with a powerful wave and a fiery sunset in the background. Two surfboards lean against the van. The smooth gradient and bright colors are achieved using expert airbrush techniques, making this a stunning piece of surf-themed airbrush décor.
This custom airbrush art features a vintage Volkswagen van on Sunset Beach, painted on a 20x5 inch wooden surfboard.

The designs are painted on small wooden surfboards of different sizes. Most are 20 in. long x 5 in. wide (50 cm x 13.5 cm).

I can add names or a special message to the image or create something specific for an individual like the VW van on the beach.

The van design took about 5 hours to complete.

A guest asked me to create a personal memory of his first time here in Hawaii. This is the custom portrait design on a surfboard I created.

I have include the transfer tracing to show more of how I create my original artwork. To get the reference I needed, I took a photo of the customer and his friend with my cellphone.

The friend’s head is added onto the silhouette of the surfer in the background. This entire painting is from my imagination. I decided to have him buried in the sand in order to solve the problem with the size of his head. I wanted the head to be big as possible and still be believable. 

I love living by the ocean. I have been painting beach scenes throughout my 35 year career.

I am influenced by the fantastic colors and light in the sky ; especially clouds. With my art I hope to convey a feeling of something you can relate to in your imagination.

This is one of my favorite subjects to paint. I love the fantasy element of mermaids. 

This reminds me of the mermaids I see in the sea near Waikiki.

I like to add my thoughts to the back of my original artwork. It’s more personal for those who collect authentic, unique visual art.

The designs on this page show how different beach scenes can be. They’re more than just sunset and waves. This is what I see when I close my eyes and escape from reality. 

Because they can be personalized with names, messages, a specific location, event, or family pet, they make great gifts for someone special. Also, airbrush artwork adds a lot of color anywhere it is displayed.

 

This is the BIG KAHUNA.

Kahuna has different meanings. 

Technically it means the king or keeper of knowledge. Other meanings include surfer ( beach bum ) or Free spirit.

The skull torch lights up the beach at night. But also lights the wooden tiki on fire. 

On a magic beach someplace in Hawaii forgotten by time, a protector god tiki lights the silent, sacred scene with enchanted flames.

The striking design features a large, dark brown, ancient-looking tiki statue on a sandy beach, dramatically ablaze with realistic fire and smoke rising into a deep blue night sky dotted with stars. The tiki holds a flaming torch with a skull finial. Above, a small, silver crescent moon, wearing sunglasses, adds a whimsical touch. The vibrant colors and detail demonstrate exceptional airbrush art, making this a unique piece of surfing and Hawaiian-inspired decor. This warrior tiki, known as Kahuna, is intended to protect the ohana (family) and is a stunning example of fine surfboard airbrush painting.

All of the airbrushed surfboards are clear coated on both sides.

 Because the wood is completely sealed, this hand made design will easily pass any postal or customs inspection.

Finally the wire hanger is screwed into the back and it is signed and dated.

The surfboard designs are actually burned into the wood. Each one is an original work of art that takes about 5~8 hours total to complete including drying time for the stain coats.

The blank surfboard is sanded and a clear prep coat is applied to both sides by the artist in order to seal the wood. The original artwork is carefully transferred onto the wooden surface.

Then the unique design is precisely burned into the wood using a wood burning tool. After burning the custom artwork into the surfboard, the stain is applied.  

Stains that we used are custom mixed to bring out the wood-grain and slightly darken the wood.

If no stain is applied the wood is lighter but it is still sealed to protect it against termites and mold.

The top surfboard displays the name "Eddie" in bold woodburning, surrounded by a shaka sign, palm trees, and ocean waves.

Both pieces of wall art showcase "Aloha Hawaii" lettering, capturing a coastal aesthetic. This custom woodburning art highlights the unique texture of the wood grain, making these personalized surfboard signs a standout choice for tropical home decor and unique island-inspired gifts.
These finished surfboard wall art pieces feature intricate woodburning and fresh stain coats. Each custom design is now hand-finished and ready for pickup or shipping!

After the stain is completely dry, a clear coat is applied to the entire surfboard. That adds an extra layer of protection. Also, the clear coat really enhances the grain pattern and makes the design stand out.

Because the wood is completely sealed, this hand made design will easily pass any postal or customs inspection.

This is a custom memorial design. The artwork came from the unique cross and feather tattoo the customer had on his arm honoring his grandfather. 

Because the cross in the picture is distorted, I re-drew it on tracing paper. 

I added the feather and lettering then transferred the design to the bare wood surfboard.
