French illustrator Jean Jullien has partnered with Fernand Surfboards to create a hand-painted sea animal-inspired surfboard collection.
These one-of-a-kind surfboards were created to bring out your inner child. Each board is hand-painted with a unique animal design and is finished with a glossy polish - ensuring the board will pop in the water. There are four variations, including an orange fish with a gentle smile, a white seal whose flippers rest on its belly, a blue whale whose tail is flipped, and a tail-less grey fish. To finish, the board is glassed by Resin League and polished by Paul Hyde.
The boards are playful, fun, and original. The line can be shopped online via Fernand's website.
