The surfboard has a nice shiny lacquered finish and looks good. I took a star off because one edge has a spot where it was routed out too much and does not follow the curved outline. I’m going to put it in a place where that won’t be too noticeable. It’s very heavy, and has hangers on the back for vertical or horizontal placement. There is black felt on the back also, but it rubbed off on my wall and left marks that needed to be cleaned off. Overall, a nice decoration.
