Item Description

Las Palmas

Las Palmas was inspired by Ohana Festival which is held annually at Doheny State Beach in Dana Point. Las Palmas was entered into Newport Beach Art Exhibition 2024 and was awarded 1st place in its category: 3D, sculpture, and Mixed Media.

Jeff Guzzetta is an award winning Dana Point based mosaic and stained glass artist. He takes his inspiration from the beach and the sea. Jeff grew up surfing so joining his art form and love for the beach evolved into creating his mosaics on a perfectly logical canvas: surfboards! He is always on the hunt for used up and “retired” surfboards to repurpose into art using stained glass, mosaic, and ceramic tiles all brought together with grout. Jeff works with what each individual surfboard calls for and purposefully leaves minor imperfections, scratches, and dings since it’s all part of their story.

You can find many more of Jeff’s mosaic surfboards and other mosaic artwork as well on his instagram account: MisterMosaicMan or contact him directly via email at JJ Guzzetta@gmail.com.

Item Special Note

PACKING & SHIPPING
Kindly note, that packing, shipping, and handling are not included - winning bidders are responsible for pick up and/or shipment of their board, including costs to package/ship. Boards can be picked up at The Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel or the purchaser can arrange for shipping. If shipped, we often work with a local UPS in Dana Point as the carrier. They have years of experience packaging/shipping our surfboards and do a wonderful job.

Pick up, packing, and shipping surf boards UPS Ground that are less than 7' costs approximately $500. Pick up, packing, and freighting surf boards that are more than 7' to 13' averages between $590 and $1,090. Kindly note, all surfboards longer than 7' can only be shipped by freight service. Additionally, please keep in mind the above values are only estimates and may be more or less, dependent on the board size and where it is travelling.

We strongly recommend that you inquire with our UPS Partner at (949) 248-9150 ext.0 to get a quote of how much shipping to your address will cost, as price varies due to location. If you arrange shipment with our UPS partner, we will handle the pick-up arrangement with them but will need to know your shipping address and phone number. They will be in touch directly to confirm packaging/shipment costs. The hotel does not manage this. If you prefer to use a different carrier, you will need to arrange pick up directly with the carrier from the resort and next steps.

Boards will be available for pick-up and shipping after Wednesday, January 1, 2025. Boards must be picked up no later than Wednesday, January 15, 2025.
