Drew Brophy | Painting a Surfboard for Tag Heuer with Kai Lenny at South Coast Plaza @drewbrophy | Uploaded August 2021 | Updated October 2024, 9 hours ago.
Tag Heuer is celebrating the opening of their first store in California and I was honored to be commissioned to paint a surfboard for it. I painted part of it LIVE at their VIP opening event.
There are many steps required to created a custom painted surfboard. I had to use multiple disciplines that I learned over the years (including my favorite, Posca). Surfboards are still hand made and hand painted, they are celebrations of craftsmanship and artistry. I am thankful to my teachers from all over the world who taught me subtle techniques and tricks to create boards like this. I started with a beautiful 7’6” light blue resin tinted, twin fin, retro cruiser shaped by Chris Christenson.
That’s Kai Lenny in the painting; he’s a Tag Heuer ambassador and was their honored guest at the grand opening event. He even added a little paint to the board, just for fun.
This was a great project; I love working with brands and people that are excited to allow me to do my best, quality work.
I take on only 12 fine art surfboard paintings a year. Call or text my gallery at 949-678-8133 if you want one of them to be yours!
