Monster Tako by Leighton Lum Surfboard Print
Monster Tako Metal Surfboard Print is unlike anything else in the collection. Renowned Hawaiʻi photographer Leighton Lum captures a Hawaiian tako mid-water against a backdrop of electric blue ocean — its amber and gold mantle spread wide, tentacles reaching in every direction, suckers in sharp detail, one eye fixed and alert. There is nothing shy about this animal, and nothing shy about this photograph.
Also known as a Hawaiian octopus art print, tako wall art, or Hawaii marine wildlife photography metal print, this piece taps into one of the ocean's most intelligent and visually striking creatures — and one with deep roots in Hawaiian culture. Tako has long been prized in Hawaiʻi as both a food source and a figure of fascination, featured in Hawaiian legends and revered as a skilled, adaptive ocean dweller. Leighton Lum brings the full visual drama of the animal to the surface — the rich amber coloring, the alien geometry of the tentacles, the vivid blue water behind it — and ChromaLuxe metal printing gives every detail the clarity and intensity it deserves. Printed using dye-sublimation technology onto a specialty cut ChromaLuxe aluminum panel shaped like a surfboard, the electric blues and warm amber tones come alive on metal with a depth and boldness that makes this piece impossible to walk past without stopping.
