FLYING SOLO — HENRY BLISS × SURFBOARD TRADING CO.

Flying Solo is a limited-edition surfboard art piece created in collaboration with underwater photographer Henry Bliss and Surfboard Trading Co. Featuring a spotted eagle ray gliding through blue ocean water, the piece brings underwater wildlife photography to the sculptural form of an authentic, functional surfboard.

Henry's work is rooted in the ocean and the perspective found beneath its surface. Flying Solo captures the quiet movement and natural beauty of a solitary eagle ray, creating an artwork that feels both dramatic and serene. The elongated surfboard format transforms the underwater photograph into a large-scale statement piece for luxury homes, contemporary coastal interiors and design-conscious spaces.

The artwork is incorporated into an authentic Surfboard Trading Co. surfboard and finished in gloss. Display Flying Solo vertically or horizontally as collectible surfboard wall art—or take it to the water. This is a real, fully functional surfboard.
