Parallel Glide. A name that encapsulates my messy, creative style both in the water and on canvas.

It was time for a change. As i’ve expanded beyond surf and skate boards as my primary canvas, I knew I needed more room for the brand itself to expand - to not be limited to “boards”. 

Thank you to @taylor_busbee_ for giving a name to the move I pulled on the coast of Portugal last year - A last minute, goofy effort to save myself from the shallow reef that wave was daring to throw me into. With his permission, I have adopted it as the new name for Boards by Chi.

I am excited for all to come alongside this rebranding - there’s been a lot of thought going into this over the last couple of months.

Thank you to everyone who has been here from the start, and who is joining me now in this new chapter✨🎉

My name is Emily Vogel, and I’m an artist.

I would love to help make your custom surfboard special; beyond the specs, the dimensions, the shape or size – to make your surfboard one of a kind.

Art has always been a big part of my life since I was younger, but it wasn’t until I painted a board for the first time in 2022 that I really found a passion. It became more than just a way to pass the time, it became an expression of myself.

I want your board to be an expression of you, your partner, your friends, or your family.

For gifts, for anniversaries, for yourself, or even for room decor...
let me help you.

My direct messages are open (@boardsbychi)
My e-mail is open

Commission is open!

Reach out with your ideas, visions, or questions!

All board are shaped through @waterboyz 

Can’t wait to work with you <3

so incredibly grateful and happy to have been able to enter my very first market this year🤍 

this is something ive wanted to do since I painted my first skateboard deck at the 2022 Waterboyz Skate Deck Art Show, where I painted bees between flowers and honeycomb (last picture - also throwback to the avocado injury @_waverly___ ) and discovered how much I enjoyed painting - so it’s just fitting to have my debut into the Pensacola art scene be at the place it all started☺️

5% of all proceeds from my sales tonight are going to Fellowship Asheville to help bring food, clothes, and supplies to the people affected by Hurricane Helene🤍 

thank you to everyone who came out to see me at my first market, it really meant a lot to be able to showcase the art i’ve been working hard on to so many familiar faces🫶

if you’re interested in any of these pieces, please dm me on here or @boardsbychi to make sure they’re still available! Thank you !!

Hey Pensacola 👋

I wanted to officially announce that on January 3rd, 2026, I am leaving Pensacola! I am so grateful for all of the support and growth i’ve gotten since I started this side business/passion, and I thank you for all of you who made the time to show up to my gallery nights, to like and share my work, and to motivate me to want to keep sharing my art☺️❤️

I unfortunately will not be attending Gallery Night this month, so I won’t be a part of another market before I leave. But! I am selling my art now through the end of the year - just reach out through dm or email if you see a piece you want to grab! 

I will be back in Pensacola a handful of times in 2026, so despite not being able to attend any more markets this year, it’s not a closed door on my business for the coming year🥳 

Pieces to choose from:
- love leopard 
- Bia goddess
- space jelly 
- koi surfboard (canvas)
- medusa 
- tiger 4-piece canvas 

also have more prints, stickers, and necklaces! dm for more info on the art or necklaces 🎨🐚

Thank you, it’s been an incredible year for me and my growth in the art community and i’m eternally grateful♡ taken in Pensacola, Florida by @parallelglide
