France based skateboard company Boom-Art has collaborated with UWL Surfboards – one of the most renowned surf manufacturers in Europe – to realise a series of limited edition surfboards. The two sets of collectors items are inspired by European art history. The first one is called ‘The Lady and the Unicorn’ and is a series of six tapestries that were woven in Flanders from wool and silk, based on designs drawn in Paris around 1500. The second is called ‘The Garden of Earthly Delight’ and is based on a three-fold painting by the early Dutch master Hieronymus Bosch. Each surfboard in the collection is handmade in France, made from polysester resin and hand shaped polyurethane foam. All of the boards are individually numbered out of an edition of only 10, retailing at €1,890 per board or €5,600 for a set of three.
