Los Angeles-based Shepard Fairey left behind a trail of street art when he finished his residency at the Contemporary Museum last month, and his Hawai'i-inspired work is now at Surf Garage, 2716 S. King Street, 951-1173.

New San Diego surfboard company Artofficial invites artists such as Fairey to tart up its hand-shaped boards. Surf Garage's Toru Yamaguchi has a longboard ($2,500, pictured) and shortboard ($2,000) in stock. So are they for riding or displaying? "Hang on wall!" says Yamaguchi.

FINAL WORD

"After 29 years, this is to be enjoyed. There are ups and there are downs and you learn that when things are good to just enjoy it."
