A local collaboration that brings together creativity, craftsmanship, and the beauty of nature, Soul Boardstore and Rivarossa Botanicals joined forces to create a bespoke floral surfboard. This project was born from the vision of a surfer from the picturesque Margaret River, who wanted to ride the waves on a truly unique masterpiece adorned with flowers. Let's delve into the story behind this remarkable collaboration and the creation of the handcrafted floral surfboard.

A Surfer's Vision: Inspired by the vibrant colours and delicate beauty of flowers, a passionate surfer from the West Coast envisioned a surfboard that would not only ride the waves but also celebrate the natural wonders around us. With this vision in mind, she approached Ross at Soul Boardstore, known for his dedication to craftsmanship and innovation, to bring her idea to life.

Crafting Nature's Beauty: To execute this ambitious project, Ross sought the expertise of Carly from Rivarossa Botanicals. Carly, with her deep connection to nature and expertise in botanical arts, was the perfect collaborator. While her primary focus is on natural dyeing, Carly also understands the art of preserving flowers through pressing, allowing their beauty to be cherished for years to come.

The Beauty Unveiled: Carly contributed her homegrown pressed flowers, which Ross carefully chose to reflect the surfer's vision. Ross, with his exceptional craftsmanship, skillfully incorporated these delicate blossoms into the surfboard design. The result was a stunning floral masterpiece that seamlessly merged the world of surfing with the artistry of nature.

Celebrating Collaboration: This collaboration between the surfer, Ross from Soul Boardstore, and Carly from Rivarossa Botanicals represents the spirit of community, creativity, and the celebration of local talent. It showcases how the shared vision of individuals can lead to the creation of something truly extraordinary.
