{"product_id":"surfer-wave","title":"Surfer Wave Embroidery Design, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eText any surfer in your contacts and theyll want this 1 stitched on their hoody by the weekend. Its a silhouette surfer crouched low on the board, riding inside the open mouth of a barrel wave. Wave curls right over the top of him in a perfect dark blue tube. White foam spray spits off the lip and arcs back into the curl. Pale cornflower water flows out the bottom under the board, charcoal silhouette tucked tight in the centre.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUp close the linework is what makes this 1 special. Each section of the wave is filled with directional ink-hatching, kinda like an old woodcut print, the strokes follow the curl of the water so the barrel actually reads round. Five thread colours but the layering on the hatching makes it look richer. Dark navy stitches for the deepest part of the tube, mid cobalt for the body of the wave, pale cornflower at the front face, then white satin spits for the spray. Surfers silhouette stays a clean filled black shape so he reads sharp from across a room.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI made this last summer for a buddy who runs a marine surf school in santa cruz. He put the 7-inch version on a row of charcoal ocean-staff hoodies and one customer texted asking for the file the morning after she saw it on the wall. People have been ordering it for surf shop tee runs, beach lifeguard tower bag patches, fathers day sea-loving surfer dad gift cushions, dawn patrol sweatshirt chests, the works.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBest on smooth solid fabric so the woodcut linework reads sharp on every part of the ocean barrel. Pop it on cream cotton, oatmeal canvas, charcoal jersey, or a navy hoody and the white spray foam really pops. Skip pale blue fabric bc the wave hatching merges into the cloth and the barrel goes flat. Black tee works gorgeous if youre after a moody late-evening sea surf vibe, the navy reads almost cinematic on the dark ground.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e9 sizes from 3.09 inches up to 6.62 wide. Stitch count climbs from 19.9k to 48.2k so the biggest version wants a medium cutaway stabiliser, slow speed, and a fresh 75\/11 needle for the satin spray. Tearaway works on canvas. Hoop tight bc those tightly packed line fills can drift on a loose hoop and youll lose the curl. Text the shop a photo if any line reads off and Ill fix the file fast by morning, no probs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCheers,\u003cbr\u003eSarah\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45746024317078,"sku":null,"price":4.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/SurferWaveEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1760758273","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/surfer-wave","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
