Werdgra Flyer Fin

This one-of-a-kind longboard fin was hand painted by Austin, Texas-based artist Drew Graves as part of the Ventana Fin Artist Project. Drew grew up around rivers, lakes, and the ocean. Drew has always had a deep respect for the water, and he emphasizes that through his art. He helps others see beauty and simplicity in nature. The fin is made of Alaska yellow cedar used in the reconstruction of the Western Flyer boat, considered by many to be the most famous fishing boat in the world. John Steinbeck, Ed "Doc" Ricketts and crew sailed this 77-foot sardine boat into the Sea of Cortez in Baja California, Mexico in 1940. The following year, Steinbeck published his book, The Log from the Sea of Cortez about the adventure. Learn more about this amazing boat and Ventana's use of its wood. This fin can be fiber glassed onto any surfboard or displayed as an art piece. You can choose a reclaimed wood base from more than ten different historical sources - original Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk redw
