About a year ago
friend Jim Blower and myself decided to enter the 2016 Swell Sculpture Festival
held every year at Currumbin Beach on the Gold Coast in southern Queensland.
A surfboard made
of steel?
Combining our
creative and sculptural expertise we decided to build a 3.7 metre surfboard out
of steel. The whole concept came together through our passion for surfing,
sculpture and of course steel.
Forged from
cor-ten steel and weighing over 130kg. we have spent close to 100 hours creating
our vision for this years, Swell Sculpture Festival.
The festival is
in it’s 14th year and has 48 artworks displayed on the Currumbin
beach from 9th till the 18th of September.
Starting to add cor-ten steel to frame.
Finished deck…. love that curve.
