'Polzeath Surf' Re-purposed Dick Pearce Bellyboard
(If you are viewing this piece at The National Lobster Hatchery in Padstow, you can purchase the piece via this page - Gemma will then arrange for shipping directly to you)
Focusing on the surfing mecca of Polzeath in Cornwall, this upcycled wood bellyboard captures the patiently waiting surfers in the line up. Swell rolling in with a textured breaking wave down the length of the board.
120cm x 30cm x 0.9cm wood Dick Pearce Belly Board
Un-framed
All wood Dick Pearce bellyboards follow templates and designs that have been passed down through the generations. Each bellyboard is unique - individually handcrafted and as such there are some that do make the cut for the shop floor. I have used one of these seconds as a canvas for this piece.
I have re-purposed offcuts of fibreglass from surfboard manufacturing to build the crest of the wave. This has created the illusion of the wave breaking off the surface out at the viewer.
I have used acrylic paint, sand and fibre glass to create this piece.
Please note - this piece is no longer rideable as a bellyboard, it is a piece of wall art.
