Enjoy Handplanes salvages old foam from broken boards to make new bodysurfing handplanes. Each one is made out of recycled broken board foam or manufacturing waste. They are handmade and custom glassed, providing a second chance to a once loved board or wrecked blank doomed to the land fill.
The Color Your Fin Art Project is the first of a series of art projects aimed at promoting art and fun in the surf community. Whether you are young or old, live in Leucadia or in another country, we encourage you to color away and send it in. We will be posting them as they arrive. Enjoy!
This is one of my favorite parts about this site. I got an email out of the blue from local artist and surfer Juan Flores. He stumbled onto the site and sent me these images of his work. I was really impressed. They are fun and of course I always love art of Leucadia and Encinitas. I really love the lineup point of view as well. I think a lot about how beautiful our bluff line is as I wait for sets. I've always wanted to take a picture of the bluff on a good day but a) it's a good day and I'm surfing. b) You need a good long distance camera to get a good shot. These paintings are cool because it gives you that detail and color from a higher point of view which lets you see the surf and the bluff. I dig it. Great work. You can check out more work of his at www.jfloresw.com.
