Malcolm Wilson

"Limited Edition: He'e Nalu" [More]

• malcolm wilson Longtime surfer Malcolm Wilson takes surfing’s grand historical canvas and renders it en miniature. Painstakingly crafting small dioramas of famous surfbreaks along with the boards that rode them, Malcom honors a vibrant piece of surfing’s rich history. His eye for detail is unmatched. One of the boards in the collection is accurate down to over two hundred miniscule brass rods that were inserted into the deck to replicate the original model’s nail construction. The diorama of the surfbreak is assembled using topographical maps and the U.S. Geological Society as references. Understandably, each piece is made to order and takes a month to make. Malcolm’s gallery includes “Papa HE’E NALU,” a collection that documents the evolution of Hawaiian surfboards from the ancient olo to the modern shortboard.
