Surf's up

Aloha from Hawaii! You may have noticed on Instagram that one half of this blogging duo is currently soaking up the sun on the north shore of Oahu. Here on the island, sipping from coconuts and basking under palm trees only begins each day after a somewhat gruelling but oh-so satisfying surfing lesson. Catching the waves (sorry, that's attempting to catch the waves) and living the surfer girl lifestyle got us thinking about how we'd incorporate surfboards into our own apartments - hey,
a girl can dream. And it turns out, there are some seriously stylish options. Displayed with flair, a board is your ride to a chilled yet chic space.

Not much of a surfer? Insignificant detail. Boards can function as so much more than just surfing apparatus. Like gates...

These surfboards are a collaboration between Australian stylist Sibella Court and iconic
surf brand McTavish. They feature gorgeous graphics by local designers including
Shibori and Bethany Linz - shop them here.

One of our fashion favourites Alexander Wang recently teamed up with Aussie board
brand Haydenshapes to create these uber luxe marble-look boards. Find similar here.

A monochrome Chanel board. Enough said.
