Stunning Abstract Image of Cardiff Sunset Retains Details at 14'

Mural Image of Cardiff Sunset Printed 14' long!

It was one of those magical California moments… with only a handful of lucky people at the beach to witness the firing reds and oranges reflected on the sand, Aaron captured one of the year's most beautiful sunsets! Challenged by a customer's request to fill a large and unique space, this Cardiff Sunset image was printed in mural format to a length of 14' long by 40" high. It’s our biggest reflective print to date!

A record-breaking 700 guests—including surfing legends, scientists, doctors, business leaders and cancer survivors—gathered on August 19 for the University of California, San Diego’s annual Luau and Longboard Invitational to raise more than $600,000 for the Rebecca and John Moores UCSD Cancer Center. Since its founding 14 years ago, the luau and surf contest has generated a total of $2.6 million in support for cancer research at UC San Diego.

Collaborating with world class shaper and good friend, Rusty Preisendorfer, Aaron and Rusty produced 2 very unique surfboards wrapped with Aaron's photographs.

Sold at live auction at the Moores Cancer Center Luau, it was sold to Luau co-chair, Paul Grayson for $1,800.00.
