Surfers rocking MFA degrees will be all over the Boom-Art Renaissance surfboard collection. The French company has created three surfboards depicting two classic works of art from the 1500s. 'The Lady and the Unicorn' makes up one set and the 'The Garden of Earthly Delights' is the other. Since these works of art were actually separate tapestries it only makes sense that each collection is comprised of three surfboards.
The top side of each surfboard contains the art while the bottom is that of a normal board. Although each piece of the Boom-Art Renaissance surfboard collection is priced like a piece of art, it appears that you can surf on them, should you choose. You can pick up either the entire collection or buy each board separately. Either way, you'll be the most cultured person in the lineup.
