Limited edition pieces are produced in small runs and hand-finished by Ruben himself. Each carries an original touch — no two reproductions are identical.
These editions honor the spirit of the original while making Ruben’s work more accessible. Each piece is individually finished by hand, giving every edition its own character, texture, and presence. Though part of a limited run, each one still carries Ruben’s direct touch and the living influence of Hawaiʻi.
"Hummingbird Heliconia"
Museum Collection Miniature Surfboards
- Limited Edition -
“Hummingbird Heliconia” 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 oils. These pieces measure 11" x 7.5" and come mounted on wood. Hummingbird Heliconia captures a moment of island brilliance — the quick energy of a hummingbird paired with the bold, sculptural beauty of heliconia. Carved from a half surfboard, the piece transforms surf material into a vivid symbol of Hawaiʻi’s living color: floral forms, movement, and the constant hum of nature close to the shoreline. It’s both delicate and dynamic, celebrating the islands as a place where beauty arrives fast, bright, and unforgettable. Each art piece is unique, no two reproductions are the same. Most reproduction art pieces are hand finished by Ruben himself. Made in Oʻahu, Hawaiʻi.
