German skateboard company Titus offers the Benni Dittrich model.
It features a wild jungle scene with a native dancer and flames – and tiki! No idea who drew this.
Where Kustom Kulture, skating and Tiki collide – just had to post this.
Blackseapearl forwarded it to me – Thanks!!!
Found here (MySpace).
I’ve seen pictures from the inside over at Tiki Central, and it looks very promising, so all tikiphiles over on the misty island probably should check in there soon.

Quote from The Britiish Museum site:
Power & Taboo explores the power of the gods in the Polynesian islands of
the eastern Pacific. Displaying part of the British Museum’s remarkable early
collections from this region, and illustrated with images made in the
early part of European settlement (1760-1860), the exhibition investigates
Polynesian ideas about the gods and how to manage their power. Rare
examples of feathered cloaks and valuable ornaments of jade and ivory from
islands such as Aotearoa New Zealand, Rapa Nui Easter Island and Hawaii
are also included in the exhibition. Many of these objects had a lasting influence
on 20th century artists such as Henry Moore and Pablo Picasso.
