Snobby Sporting Equipment - World's Most Expensive Surf Board
World's Most Expensive Surf Board

I love extreme sports. I can’t go surfing in my own country as the waves are too small but if I could, I would definitely go. 

However, I would not have a board like the one designed by Kenny Scharf and Elie Tahari. Because it’s freakin’ expensive. ‘Only’ $15,000 USD.

Well, let’s be rational and see why this surfing board is that expensive: the board has a print developed from a painting made by Kenny Scharf, called “Floatungle”.

Beside the board, you may want to spend your money on a silk chiffon caftan (248 USD) or a cotton voile pareo (168 USD).

So, if you are not running short of money and you love surfing, you may case a stir when showing up with this ultra expensive board on the beach.
