12 of the best Surf Prints you’ve ever seen

This is, at its simplest, a gallery of amazing photographs. On that existential tip, it’s a portal of escapism. And depending on your level of engagement, it’s also a string of options to light up the walls of your home or office with. See, we’ve plucked this gallery from new print site Aika Collective, which curates photographs from surfing’s finest lensmen and offers to apply them in ink to paper. A real, bonafide piece of printed matter. This is only a very small portion of the options, too, but some of our favourites. Cue mind surf. How long till someone rides a mutant of a wave like this? Photo by Ben Thouard The gallery hosts photos from almost every region of the world. This is Dane Gudauskas in Norway. Photo by Chris Burkard An underwater gem from Australian photog Warren Keelan, an amazing fine art photographer. Nathan Fletcher and possibly the most wildly heavy wave ever surfed. Teahupoo, Tahiti. Photo by Brian Bielmann From half a foot to 20 foot, Aika have it all covered. Photo by Deb Morris Break me off a piece o’ dat. Photo by Matt Clark Bruce Irons, aka surfing’s best rockstar, pulling into the shorebreak during his win at the 2004 Eddie Aikau event. Photo by Tom Carey Regardless of what happens on land, the Gold Coast from underwater is real special. Photo by Ray Collins The best kinda decision. Photo by Javi “PacoTwo” Munoz Split-second sculpture. This, framed, will brighten any room. Photo by Ray Collins Go on. Book that J-Bay ticket. Ain’t nobody gonna blame you. photo by Timo Jarvinen Aika Collective right here. Aika Collective right here. Aika Collective right here. Aika Collective right here.
