LIND Takes Surfing to a Whole New Level at the Cannes Yachting Festival

LIND, pioneers in electric surfboard innovation, made waves at the Cannes Yachting Festival with the launch of their first series of custom art boards, and it was nothing short of epic. At Yacht Kings, we’re all about pushing the limits of what’s possible on the water, and LIND’s exhibition “A New Way to Play” did just that. Blending art, technology, and surf culture, these boards were not only visually stunning but also exciting to ride. It wasn’t just about surfboards—it was a whole new way to experience the water.

The Intersection of Art and Adventure
LIND’s exhibition showcased a collection of custom electric surfboards, each crafted by some of the world’s most renowned contemporary artists. Power and performance met artistry in pieces like “Midnight Cowgirl” and “Beast of Friends” by Terry Urban and “Orchid Onyx” by Jessica Kayll. These boards weren’t just for riding—they made a statement.

During the Cannes Yachting Festival from September 10-15, these boards were displayed at key locations throughout the show. But that was only the beginning. LIND’s exhibition is set to make waves globally, with plans to visit Monaco, Fort Lauderdale, and Miami Art Week, revealing even more incredible boards.

Surfing with Purpose
What set this apart was LIND’s commitment to a greater cause. All this creativity was channeled into supporting Oceanic Global, a nonprofit working to protect our oceans. The boards will be auctioned at Miami Art Week in December, raising both funds and awareness for ocean conservation. Riding one of these boards means not only experiencing cutting-edge design but also contributing to a vital cause.

The Specs That Matter
Beyond their artistic appeal, LIND boards were engineered for serious performance. Featuring a 27-horsepower motor capable of reaching speeds up to 60km/h and weighing just 15 pounds, these boards were built for adventure. They were light, fast, and intuitive, allowing riders to hit the water in just 15 seconds—less hassle, more action.

The innovation didn’t stop there. LIND developed a custom battery that charged in just an hour using a 230-volt outlet. Paired with a sleek remote, the setup offered an unparalleled riding experience, regardless of water conditions. This was the future of surfing, grounded in tradition but elevated by technology.

Your New Ride Awaits
For those ready to take the plunge, the LIND Canvas was available starting at $24,950, with custom art boards priced from $20,000. These boards weren’t just for surfing—they were a blend of design, technology, and the thrill of self-expression on the water.
