Item Description

Jeff Guzzetta is a Dana Point based mosaic artist who takes his inspiration from the beach and the ocean.

Jeff grew up surfing so joining his art form and love of surfing evolved into creating his mosaics on a perfectly logical canvas: surfboards! “Used up” retired surfboards are repurposed into art using stained glass, mosaic tiles, and ceramic tiles all brought together with grout. Jeff works with what each individual surfboard calls for and purposely leaves their dings, scratches, and imperfections since it’s all part of their story.

You can find more of Jeff’s mosaic surfboards and other mosaic art on Instagram @mistermosaicman.

The board is titled “El Nino”.

Item Special Note

Kindly note, that packing, shipping, and handling are not included - winning bidders are responsible for pick up and/or shipment of their board, including costs to package/ship. Boards can be picked up at The Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel or the purchaser can arrange for shipping. If shipped, we often work with a local UPS in Dana Point as the carrier. They have years of experience packaging/shipping our surfboards and do a wonderful job. Before you bid, you may inquire with our UPS Partner at (949) 248-9150 ext.0 to get a quote of how much shipping to your address will cost, as price varies due to location. If you arrange shipment with our UPS partner, we will handle the pick-up arrangement with them but will need to know your shipping address and phone number. They will be in touch directly to confirm packaging/shipment costs. The hotel does not manage this. If you prefer to use a different carrier, you will need to arrange pick up directly with the carrier from the resort and next steps.

Boards will be available for pick-up and shipping beginning Monday, January 8, 2024. Boards must be picked up no later than Wednesday, January 31, 2024.
