# Sun and Surf Skateboards Tom Veiga Wave Series Skateboards Feature His Signature Wave Graphic Art By Corinne Guirgis | Published 2011-05-11 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tom-veiga-wave-series References: [hypebeast](http://hypebeast.com/2011/05/tom-veiga-wave-series-skate-decks/) & [seriewaves](http://www.seriewaves.com/) [Skateboard artwork](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/limitededition-skateboard-deck) may be nothing new, but these pieces from the Tom Veiga Wave series are certainly one of a kind! The Brazilian artist features his signature style artwork which carries an overarching theme of sun, surf and waves. Each of the board designs has already been seen on a canvas, but the skate deck is a medium for his artwork which is quite fitting considering his love for [surf and wave graphics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yusuke-hanai-2). The color and theme of the boards also fits well with the [skateboard mentality](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/united-through-skateboarding) of easy-going relaxation and love of the outdoors. In addition to looking cool, pieces from the Tom Veiga Wave series give the board and the skater who is using it a sense of originality and flavor which will hopefully translate to the skills of those who put them to use! ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.7/10 - Popularity: 25% | Activity: 19% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Sports](https://www.trendhunter.com/sports) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Skateboard Artwork:** The trend of using unique designs and themes on skateboard decks is on the rise, providing opportunities for artists and designers to showcase their innovative artistic creations. - **Surf Culture:** The influence of surf culture and wave graphics in skateboard designs is becoming more prominent, creating a market for products that capture the essence of relaxation and adventure. - **Artistic Skate Equipment:** The creation of skate equipment as a canvas for art is a new trend, providing opportunities for artists to create one-of-a-kind designs that are also functional. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Art and Design:** The market for unique skateboard designs is growing, offering potential opportunities for artists and designers to create limited edition or custom designs. - **Sports and Leisure:** The influence of surf culture in skateboard designs presents a new opportunity for companies in the sports and leisure industry to create products that cater to consumers who value adventure, relaxation, and style. - **Manufacturing and Retail:** The trend towards skateboard equipment as a canvas for art offers opportunities for manufacturers and retailers to create and sell customized or limited edition products that appeal to consumers seeking unique designs and functionality. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Blue Silkscreen Skateboard Decks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kai-and-sunny-1.md) - [Pop Art Skateboard Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-skateroom-1.md) - [Psychedelic Skateboard Decks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-psychedelia.md) - [Two-Wheeled Surfing-Inspired Skateboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/surf-skateboard.md) - [Surfing-Focused Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/raymond-pettibon-1.md) - [Artist-Collaborated Skateboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/impala-hera-cruiser.md) - [Skateboard-Inspired Stamp Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skateboard-inspired-stamp-collection.md) - [Anniversary-Celebrating Arty Skateboard Decks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stevie-williams1.md) - [Surf-Inspired Skate Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yusuke-hanai-2.md)
