Say ‘Aloha’ to www.bluerapture.eu
Blue Rapture’s vision is to deliver unique high quality products for surf culture from all over the world. These will include surf boards, art and fashion accessories.
Blue Rapture introduces you to the world of inspirational surfboards ranging in price from £3500 – £5000 RRP, for those serious about obtaining a truly creative collection. However the site also plans on stocking exceptional fashion, art and surf accessories with a strong Polynesian influence for all to enjoy.
The exciting new site has set out by carving its own niche slice of the UK and European surf market by getting Tim Bessell ‘on-board’ (http://timbessell.com/) as this will be his first introduction to the European market of his limited edition surf boards. The first in his ‘artists’ series is a selection of Andy Warhol inspired boards, these exclusive ‘surfable’ works of art are crafted and customised to the individual client’s needs.
Harriet Bishop, founder of Blue Rapture states ‘our passion stems from historical big wave heroes such as Eddie Akiau, to modern day photographers and artists who are key influencers in their industry such as Clark Little. Although we’re young in our journey of life, our aim is to become more than a brand.’
The Blue Rapture values include:
- To sell inspiring, unique and high quality products from around the world
- To be authentic and pure, whilst remaining core to surf culture
- To share stories and bring Aloha to our community both online and offline
- To give back to the world and support good causes
