Brown Cannon 3 Surfboards

Ever since Shark Week, you swore off the ocean.

Which is exactly why you should own a Brown Cannon 3 surfboard.

Translating his images of water to surface, Mill Valley photog Brown Cannon III created a mouth-watering collection of fifteen limited-edition boards. And while totally usable, the stunning collectibles cost a whopping $6,500 a piece (wipeout!), so you may want to treat them like pieces of art and hang them on the wall.

The vintage designs are crafted from balsa wood, biofoam, and fiberglass and range from five-foot-ten to ten-foot-twelve in length. Vivid underwater pics of sea turtles and jellyfish grace the boards as reminders of what lies beneath.

Da dum, da dum.
