Swamis Swell
Limited Edition of 10
Encinitas, CA
An iconic Encinitas break—transformed into sculptural wave art.
Shot from above on a crisp coastal morning, Swamis Swell captures the clean green lines and white-water lace of San Diego’s most beloved break. Colin Leibold’s aerial perspective turns a familiar local moment into something bold and architectural—wave movement distilled into pure form and color.
Printed on glossy acrylic and cut to the silhouette of a surfboard, this 18" × 76" statement piece serves as a striking wall sculpture, bringing the energy and rhythm of Southern California surf culture into any space.
Care Instructions
Keep your artwork looking as stunning as the day it arrived:
Metal Prints
- For a quick clean, dust your metal print with a microfiber or soft dry cloth.
- For a deep clean, wipe clean with a microfiber cloth and a small amount of water or a mild glass cleaner.
- Avoid abrasive cleaners or ammonia-based products.
- Metal prints are moisture-resistant, making them great for humid environments—just avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
Framed Prints
- Dust the frame regularly with a soft, dry cloth.
- Use a microfiber cloth and a non-ammonia glass cleaner for the acrylic front—avoid paper towels or rough fabrics.
- Keep away from high humidity areas like bathrooms to protect the frame and artwork.
By following these simple steps, your Middles print will remain a timeless piece of adventure and inspiration in your space.
Hanging Instructions
Framed Prints (Sawtooth Hanger)
- Choose a spot with good lighting and minimal direct sunlight to preserve your print’s vibrancy.
- Measure the distance between the two corner sawtooth hangers on the back of the frame.
- Lightly mark those points on your wall using a level to keep things straight.
- For drywall, use picture hooks or drywall anchors. For wood or studs, nails or screws work great.
- Install two fasteners—one for each corner hanger.
- Gently rest each sawtooth hanger onto its fastener until secure.
- Step back, make sure it’s level, and enjoy the view.
Metal Prints (Float Inset Frame)
- Find a spot with indirect light to enhance the metal print’s natural luminescence.
- Use a pencil to mark where the two screws will go (measure twice, level once).
- Drill your holes and install two screws—anchors may be needed depending on your wall type.
- With clean hands or gloves (cotton or nitrile recommended), lift your print and align the inset frame's lip on the back with the screws.
- Gently lower the print onto the screws until it feels secure.
- Step back, make sure it’s level, and watch your wall come to life.
