Description

Brian Tolley is Autistic and has created this surfboard entirely from twistie-ties (the kind you use to close your trash bags).  Twist-Ties are Brian's medium of choice.


The surfboard is 15 inches long.


Brian started twisting when he was around three years old, because he was bored! His family says that he has not stopped playing with twisty ties ever since. When he was little, he would borrow them from the grocery store vegetable aisle when his family went shopping. Then the kids around the neighborhood started requesting them and buying them with their allowance money. Now big kids and little kids love the creations, and that makes Brian feel proud of what he does.
