The Daydream Surfboard: This is an Al Merrick board spray painted with Montana gold, the octopus is painted on using posca paint pens and then sealed with modpodge. 

This is my favorite board of my current bunch, And I don’t know if I’ll have one I like better. I imagine this octopus as though he’s floating down looking at the sky above and if you zoom in, you can see the right side of the board has sky light beaming through and the bottom of the board gets darker to imitate the darkening water. 

This was only the 2nd board I had ever done and I took longer than expected, but it was well worth it in the end. I have all the photos from start to finish of this board.

This board could be ridden but it is not recommended as it could damage the paint.
