Item Description

To the Beach
by Damian Fulton

Fascinated by the relentless love/hate experience living with one foot in the city and one foot in the sea, Los Angeles based artist, Damian Fulton creates a uniquely original “urban surf” vision instantly relatable to those persevering in today’s overstimulated, pop-industrialized world. Fulton launched his art career as a cartoonist and illustrator creating counterculture comic strips like “The Shred Brothers” and “Radical Rick”, and painting surf posters for Ocean Pacific. After doing time at Ogilvy & Mather Advertising as Senior Partner Creative Director, and Marvel Productions as VP Head of Creative Development, he’s returned to his first love with a vengeance.

“Damian Fulton does not airbrush surfing to make it more palatable for the masses. His paintings are unlikely to make it into a pair of hibiscus-print boardshorts anytime soon.” — Marcus Sanders, Surfline."

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.
