"Bird in Paradise" - Limited Edition Museum Collection Miniature Surfboards
"Birds in Paradise" Miniature Surfboards are reproductions of the original sculptures made from resin and wood. Every piece is hand painted by the original artist, Ruben Aira Jr, in oil color. These pieces measure 16" x 6" and come mounted on wood.
Birds in Paradise captures the spirit of Hawai‘i in a single, iconic pairing: tropical bloom and island wildlife, living side-by-side in constant color and motion. Carved from a half surfboard, the piece carries the legacy of wave-riding in its curves while transforming that history into a celebration of Hawaiiana — lush, radiant, and unmistakably local. The surfboard’s original shape becomes a frame for new life, honoring the islands as both sanctuary and source of inspiration.
Each art piece is unique, no two reproductions are the same. Most reproduction art pieces are hand finished by Ruben himself. Made in Oahu, Hawaii. For questions, commissions, or comments, please contact us!
