Today I am looking at a vintage surfboard turned into an outdoor shower.
I’m going to share something that hits all of my awesome requirements. I stopped in my tracks when I saw this outdoor surfboard shower with Hawaiian floral design. The surfboard is decorated with stained glass mosaic design on an 8′ longboard and offered on Etsy by Teri Labrousse a.k.a. TropicalArtist.
Looking at this clever shower makes me want to pack my bags and head to the beach. I’ve said it before, one of the best things in the world is coming in from a day at the beach and taking a cool refreshing shower. The fact that this outdoor shower is made from an old surfboard catapults it into the creative reuse Hall of Fame, in my opinion.
This is one cool longboard! We’ve taken this vintage surfboard and recycled it into a surfboard shower, using iridescent stained glass with colors that pick up the tranquil scene of Hawaiian flowers and leaves. It can either be hooked up to a plain old hose and used as an outdoor shower, or attached to plumbing with both hot and cold water for use inside as well. All plumbing is copper for the best quality.

Hi Patricia,
I love your blog! I thought you’d like to see the surfboard shower we did last year – an artist upcycled the board and we installed the glass enclosure:
