Australian Bodysurfing Classic Trophy

10.03.23

The Australian Bodysurfing Classic is an annual event that attracts over 140 global competitors and is New South Wales biggest surfing event. The event is held to promote the sport of bodysurfing, uniting the community and promoting inclusivity.

We were tasked with creating a new trophy to encompass the essence of the event. Using natural timbers and colours true to that of the Australian beach environment.

We created this unique, surfboard shaped trophy using natural Australian timber and layers of blue acrylic in varying shades. An oceanic texture was UV printed behind the blue acrylic layers to achieve a sense of depth, much like that of the ocean. A silver layer of acrylic accents the inside of the surfboard, drawing attention to the brands logo. The competition details were then etched onto the base of the trophy, with sections pre-cut from the back of the trophy, allowing space for the gold acrylic rectangles to be added later. This was a great way to increase the longevity of the trophy, as the gold acrylic rectangles can be etched and added in as required.

We loved creating this fun and unique trophy!
