This is a short film showing artist Diggy creating custom art on a hand shaped surfboard by Luke Young. It shows the whole process from painting the artwork on to the blank step by step, to Luke glassing the board and finishing it off ready to wax up and ride. The board was commissioned by Panda Eye surf photographer Ollie Howe and was created in South Devon.
