Surph-O-Morph Surfboards by Surfer's Den/Giulio Iacchetti
These surfboards take their shape from the sleek lines of marine animals: the black Orca from killer whales, the grey Delfino from dolphins; and the white Squalo from sharks. The skegs are also fashioned to reference the fins of the animals. Produced on request by Italian designer Giulio Iacchetti for Surfer's Den, the expanded polystyrene boards are precision milled then reinforced with plywood foam. They are then laminated with epoxy resin to protect against Sun and saltwater damage. €1,500
