Some surfboards are made to ride. Others become timeless works of art.
This is a beautiful 7'6" custom surfboard, hand-shaped and personally signed by renowned shaper Guy Takayama. Featuring a stunning, one-of-a-kind original mermaid artwork, this board embodies the beauty, mystery, and spirit of the ocean. It presents more like a gallery-quality display piece than a traditional surfboard.
Guy Takayama is a respected master shaper whose craftsmanship has been admired throughout the surfing community for decades. As the nephew of the legendary Donald Takayama, he carries forward a legacy of exceptional craftsmanship, artistry, and authentic California surf culture.
This custom board has never been ridden and remains in exceptional original condition. It has been carefully preserved since the day it was received and was always cherished as an original piece of surf art rather than a board intended for the water.
This board also carries a special story. It belongs to a dear friend who received it directly from Guy and has treasured it ever since. She always intended to keep it, but as she prepares for her daughter's wedding, she has made the difficult decision to pass it on. Her hope is that it finds a new home with someone who will appreciate its beauty, craftsmanship, and history as much as she has.
Whether displayed in a home, office, surf shop, or private collection, this is the kind of piece that becomes a centerpiece and a conversation starter. It represents authentic surf heritage, original craftsmanship, and artistic expression that simply cannot be duplicated.
For collectors, surfers, and admirers of Guy Takayama's work, opportunities like this are exceptionally rare. Once a one-of-a-kind piece enters a private collection, it may never become available again.
