I created a personalized print for a wooden surf balance board, handcrafted by a friend of mine.
Jonathan Engels, a furniture designer and wood craftsman, hand-made a surf balance board for me. As an extra touch, he decided to pour green resin in the middle in the form of the letter T (which has the same design as the logo of this website). To give the board some extra surf vibes, I decided to design a motive I could put on there with the use of POSCA markers.

To fall within the surf vibes, I decided to make use of a limited color palette consisting of light blue, dark blue, turquoise, white, and black. The design itself depicts a sunset landscape that shows two mountain ranges at the coast, with the sun setting behind it. This landscape was built up from the inside outwards, where elements were gradually added.

With this added surfing flavor to my balance board, I feel even more motivated to increase my balance for future surfing trips. That way my level can increase beyond what I learned in Bali.
