Phillip George Designs Arabic Surfboards.

Making a statement about Arabic racism in Australia, Phillip George exhibits a series of surfboards using Arabic elements and motifs he picked up along his travels. “By remapping the surfboards, George envelops the surfboard with different meanings and a different history, derived from Islam and Arabic culture, and challenges expectations of White Australia that too often go unchecked and unchallenged.” Read more here.

    Simone, I have been surfing for 10 years and I hate to tell you that a cool design will help you in the water, I myself am a Graphic Designer and paint my boards myself. If you want me to do a design for you I am more than able.
