Item Description

Marine Life Artist Wyland has earned the distinction as one of America’s most unique creative influences, and a leading advocate for marine resource conservation. An accomplished painter, sculptor, photographer, writer, and scuba diver, he has traveled the farthest reaches of the globe for more than twenty-five years, capturing the raw power and beauty of the undersea universe. Hailed a “Marine Michaelangelo” by USA Today, Wyland’s work is sought by millions of collectors and his galleries throughout the United States are considered a must-see on the itineraries of travelers everywhere.

The board was shaped by Timmy Patterson.  The Patterson family has a long history in the surfing industry. Father Ronald Patterson and Uncles Robert and Raymond Patterson have been involved in the surf industry since its inception in the 1950’s.  Prior to beginning T. Patterson Surfboards, Timmy started out shaping at Hobie Surfboards in Dana Point, California, and was involved with all the facets of the manufacturing process during the shaping, laminating, glossing, sanding, and airbrushing. It was there that he learned the art of shaping from legends such as Dale Velzy, Chris McElroy, Mickey Munoz and Terry Martin.  Timmy believes to be an expert in design, development and the hand shaping, you must partake in every phase of the surfboard manufacturing stages. He is dedicated to bringing the most functional and modern shapes for any wave conditions and all types of surfing. He oversees production every step of the way from shaping-to-the fine sanding, assuring that a T. Patterson Surfboard will be of highest quality both in shape and performance.

The board is a 5' 10" Timmy Patteron board.
