At Wave SUPs, we're thrilled to unveil our latest limited edition paddleboard: the 'What the SUP?!' board, designed by the incredibly talented artist and creative director, MUL. Hailing from Newcastle upon Tyne, MUL is best known for his large-scale outdoor murals that combine the universal appeal of cartoons with the raw, energetic vibe of street art. His signature 'Disco Style' has captured the hearts of many, especially during the challenging times of the 2020 lockdown, and now, it’s making waves on the water.
The Art Behind the Board
MUL’s artwork is a vibrant celebration of life, deeply influenced by uplifting music and the spirited culture of Newcastle. His iconic Running Heart character, which has become a symbol of his work, often graces the walls of the city, including his famous ‘Young Hearts Run Free’ mural on the Quayside. This character, along with MUL's distinctive use of bold colors and dynamic compositions, is what makes his art so captivating.
In MUL’s own words, ‘‘What a great project to be a part of, it’s been really enjoyable for me to translate my work onto various products and developing this capsule with a nod to Newcastle to top it off!’’
This limited edition board is more than just a piece of equipment; it’s a piece of art that reflects the vibrant, lively spirit of MUL’s work. Whether you're a fan of street art, or simply someone who appreciates bold, creative designs, this board is sure to turn heads both on and off the water.
