About this pattern

A round beach scene inside a dark brown ring. An orange surfboard with a pointed nose stands upright in the sand on the center line, with two white stripes slanting across its deck. Behind it are a pale blue sky with two small white clouds, a dark teal sea with a zigzag white crest, lighter turquoise water and a white line of foam along the shore. The pale sand in front has darker gold patches, one of them the shadow of the board falling to the lower right. The board has a dark brown outline down both sides; the sky, sea and sand are flat fields of color. Full crosses only.

51 stitches wide by 51 high: 2,053 full cross stitches in 9 DMC colors (Baby Blue 3755, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Dark Autumn Gold 3853 and 6 more).
