I always wanted to be an [installation artist](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folded-time), to show my creative works on a grand scale. The Surf Board Installation by Fandango Projects , titled ‘I was a teenager in the…’ takes on a historical tour or youth and surf culture.

The exhibit was done for Quicksilver and it recreates teenagers rooms throughout the ages. Installed last week, it is no coincidence the [skateboarding phenom Tony Hawk](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-psychedelia) also had a show at the same time. Check out the gallery for more Surf Board Installation pictures.
