These colorful surfboards are inspired by the locations that the act of surfing normally takes place in.
The surfboards were released by the 'Paul Kasmin Shop' and were designed by Erik Parker. Called the 'New Kawela' surfboards, the playful products come in unusual shapes. The colorful surfboards are tropical in their visual theme, but it is their functional design that sets them apart. Two of these boards have ends that are shaped like fish tails while the third has a standard, tapered shape. While the boards are quite expensive, their visuals are beautiful and their unconventional shapes give them an easy glide quality.
These boards are perfect for people who's lives revolve around surfing as a sport and lifestyle.
