I came across Australian artist Scott Redford. I really liked his large scale approach to sculpture/installation and the mixture of surf culture with commercial signage + the broken boards!
"Scott Redford is a leading Australian artist who has firmly placed
his home town, Queensland's Gold Coast, on the contemporary art map. This major solo exhibition showcases his
development of the fictitious character Reinhardt Dammn in dialogue with
key works from the last decade. 'Scott
Redford: Introducing Reinhardt Dammn' includes surfboard sculptures,
videos and paintings, suites of fibreglass objects and canvases with
shiny, highly coloured acrylic surfaces"

At 'The Graveyard Exhibition' event night I showed PART 3 of the ReRip stroy. I've posted the full story here because it highlights a successful way of collecting surfboards in the US where the aim is to reuse and resell them... could this happen in Australia?
