Looking for boat/surf/wake pics to decorate a room with

So, in our house, we have various rooms that are decorated with themes. For example, our family room has an "adventure" theme and has pics of our family doing our various adventures with vinyl lettering under each pic giving it a title. The back wall has a Hollywood/Movie theme and we have metal art that's film reels and the like with framed pics of our favorite movie covers. Our master bedroom has a "city" theme so lots of pics of cityscapes and other urban type stuff.


Anyway, I had a buddy of mine that had been renting our spare bedroom for a while and he's now moved out and we have our room back. We're thinking of decorating it with a 'boating' theme.

So, I'm wondering if anyone has some epic pictures that they'd be willing to let me use. My plan is go buy some frames and have the high res imagines blown up to whatever size frame I end up using and get them printed from one of the online vendors.

I would most like pics where the rider or boat brand isn't readily identifiable.

So, if you have some favorite pics that you might be willing to let me use, post them up here in this thread... I'd love to see some of your favorites and get a bigger selection of stuff I might use to decorate the room...

For example, one of my friends took this pic from our boat, but I'm sure people have way better...

Here is one from this past week

Not sure if this is what you are looking for but these are some of ours we have thought about putting on the wall ourselves. I didnt know if you were trying to avoid seeing riders at all or not.

heres a good one of a friend of mine

Here is one I took last season. Not technically boat, wake, or surf but a cool pic none the less.

^^^ The invisible man riding?

Oh yea! Very rare occurrence lol.

First one is one I took through my sunglasses.

The second one is a Bill Doster pic. I actually bought an original from him as I loved the photo so much. http://www.billdoster.com/

try that again. Bill Doster Photo

Cool stuff. I think the silhouette pics are sweet.

Makes me wonder if I could get something like that with my own boat...

one of my favorite shots:

how bout a painted one?



i actually don't really like it

This thread has given me some ideas. I really like the silhouette stuff. And the painted one makes me think it could be cool to get a pic transformed to a "watercolor" image. Thanks for showing me ideas.

Butter for days...

Had Byerly sign a Hyperlite sign a few years back. was 14x18" I think. Got a frame that was a tad bigger and made a collage from pics i'd shot and from a few mags. centered it all around the Hyperlite sign with the signature in the middle. Came out pretty well and hangs in the cave. I can grab a pic if you'd like.

Sure, always cool to get ideas...

Ok that was weird.... never seen that pic

You can submit any high quality photo to 500px, and then order a print of it.
I just got a huge one of my daughter standing at our pier looking out..
It looks amazing!
