These pieces are made from the wave-munched fragments of broken boards actually used when surfing giant waves. The thunderous force of the ocean is apparent in these jagged and mishapen \u201cwrecktangles\u201d, but perhaps the most eye-catching component is the various decals, traction pads, fins or logos that show both the personalization of each board and the sponsorship and awards circuits of pro surfing.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Yes, these pieces (like <em>Pipeline Wrecktangle XIV<\/em>, 2011 above) are broken surfboards fastened together, and apparently they are <em>very<\/em> collectable.
