British shaper Ellie Miller teamed up with gilding artist Danni Bradford to create the world’s first 24-karat gold surfboard. Only one surfer will have the opportunity to own “The Aureus.” Can a surfboard be considered a piece of jewelry? Lux Surfboards has literally transformed a shortboard into a precious piece of jewelry. But make no mistake: this is a real and functional surfboard, and it is worth £125,000. The one-off, limited edition golden 6’8” surfboard is hand gilded with a triple 24-karat gold leaf, a 24-karat gold fiberglass fin, and a 24-carat gold Lux Surfboards logo. And, for those who don’t know, 24 karats gold means pure gold.
