by COLE DITTMER photography by ALLISON POTTER Long has the act of hand shaping and glassing surfboards been considered an art. Sometimes the aesthetic appeal of that hand-shaped board is enhanced by the addition of another artist’s work. Transferring skills honed on canvas and paper to foam and fiberglass comes naturally for artists who draw inspiration from the sea, surf culture or the thrill of surfing itself. For Brooks Pearce it was the culture and beauty of the Hawaiian Islands that served as her inspiration when applying her artistry to the boards produced in the mid-1970s in Carolina Beach. 38 WBM june 2014
