I’m generally not a huge proponent of collections. The having of things has never much appealed to me. But surfboards represent a very different proposition. Aesthetics tempered by functional considerations, a surfboard is art that demands to be used. Look at this room. This one room represents an enormous swath of our collective knowledge around the technical application of fluid dynamics through the lens of each shaper’s particular vision. With enough money and time (and a great deal of understanding from my wife), I could certainly imagine ending up with a room like this.
This pic came from an amazing pictorial from Surfer Magazine about unusual surfer dwellings. Check it out.
