Slowing Down by Henry Bliss – Limited Edition Surfboard Art

SLOWING DOWN — HENRY BLISS × SURFBOARD TRADING CO.

Slowing Down is a limited-edition surfboard art piece created in collaboration with ocean photographer Henry Bliss and Surfboard Trading Co. Blending Henry's underwater photography with the sculptural form of an authentic surfboard, the piece transforms ocean imagery into functional, collectible art.

Created for spaces where traditional framed artwork isn't enough, Slowing Down brings the movement, color and perspective of the underwater world into a full-size surfboard. Its elongated form creates an architectural statement suited to luxury homes, contemporary coastal interiors, hospitality spaces and design-conscious environments.

The artwork is incorporated into an authentic Surfboard Trading Co. surfboard and finished in gloss. Display Slowing Down vertically or horizontally as collectible surfboard wall art—or take it to the water. This is a real, fully functional surfboard.
