Today’s Painting is #12 of 20 in this #20×20 Series,\u00a0titled\u00a0THE BATTLE OF THE PADDLE<\/strong>,\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a016″ x 2o” on Canvas Board, medium\u00a0Uni Poscas Paint Pens<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The “Gerry Lopez Battle of the Paddle” is the biggest standup paddle race in the world, held at Doheny State Beach in Dana Point. \u00a0The event brings together so many great athletes and people who are stoked on the sport.<\/p>\n

The first one was held in 2008, and I was commissioned by Rainbow Sandals to create the artwork <\/a>for the poster, t-shirts and signage.<\/p>\n

In 2009 Rainbow Sandals hired me to paint a Mural, live<\/a>, onsite during the event.<\/p>\n

I decided to paint this at the Battle of the Paddle event, right on the beach.<\/p>\n

I can remember many years ago when I was first introduced to Standup paddleboarding, when Laird Hamilton brought it from Hawaii, I had visions of ancient Hawaiian warriors marauding each other’s islands.<\/p>\n

\"Painting<\/a>

Painting onsite at Battle of the Paddle, for Inspiration<\/p><\/div>\n

Their paddles doubled as weapons and after spending time surfing and exploring in Hawaii and Tahiti, I have come to understand the violent nature of these warriors and how they liked to hack the heads off of their adversaries. \u00a0It brings a whole new meaning to the “battle of the paddle”! \u00a0\u00a0It makes me think that this event is way too civilized.<\/p>\n

This painting is gnarly. \u00a0I think I’m going to make a t-shirt <\/a>with the art!<\/p>\n

Hope you like it,<\/p>\n
