Bakersfield by Clipper Poster Print

There was a time when air travel promised glamour, mystery, and exotic destinations. Naturally, Kern River Surf Co has chosen to imagine that one of those destinations was Bakersfield.

Fly to Bakersfield by Clipper is a lovingly warped homage to the great vintage airline posters of the past—bold lettering, dramatic skies, far-off scenery, and the kind of sweeping optimism that suggests a Pan Am Clipper might touch down somewhere between Oildale, the Kern River, and a dream of inland surf civilization. It is equal parts travel poster, alternate history, and local fever dream.

This print takes the romance of classic aviation advertising and reroutes it straight to Bakersfield, where the scenery is a little dustier, the stories are a little taller, and the legends are a lot more fun. The result is a statement piece that looks like it belongs in a mid-century lounge, a record room, a bar, an office, or anywhere that could use a little more Central Valley mythology.

Available in 11×14 this piece works as either a smaller accent print or a bigger wall-dominating conversation starter. Whether you’re decorating your home, shop, office, or secret inland surf headquarters, this one says you understand that style matters—and so does a good joke told seriously.
