Mahi Taco by Desmond Thain Surfboard Print
Mahi Taco Surfboard Print is a celebration of one of Hawaiʻi's most prized game fish, rendered with the precision and care of a natural history illustration. Artist Desmond Thain captures the mahi-mahi in full profile — its distinctive blunt forehead, vivid green and yellow flanks, electric blue dorsal fin running the full length of the body, and the delicate detail of every scale and fin — set against a clean white background that lets the fish command the frame entirely. The artist's signature and red chop seal complete the piece with the quiet authority of traditional fish art.
Also known as a mahi-mahi fish art print, Hawaii dorado fishing wall art, or Hawaii game fish illustration metal print, this piece draws from the long tradition of fish portraiture — part natural history, part sport fishing trophy, part pure appreciation for one of the ocean's most visually spectacular animals. The mahi-mahi (also known as dorado or dolphinfish) is a beloved catch in Hawaiian waters and one of the most colorful fish in the ocean, and Thain's illustration does full justice to that color and form. The clean white background and the surfboard silhouette give the piece a modern, gallery-quality presentation that works in a fishing cabin, a beach house, a restaurant, or any space that wants to honor the ocean's bounty with a little style. Printed using dye-sublimation technology onto a specialty cut ChromaLuxe aluminum panel shaped like a surfboard, the vivid greens, yellows, and blues of the mahi come alive on metal with a clarity and vibrancy that brings the fish to life.
Mahi Taco — DT19 is available in six landscape sizes: 21"×9", 36"×12", 44"×11", 48"×16", 54"×18", and 60"×20". The wide horizontal format is a natural fit for a fish in full profile — it needs the length. Each print comes ready to hang with eyelets included.
Every print is locally produced in Kapolei, HI — made with aloha, right here in Hawaiʻi.
