A Signature ARTWORK by Ross Concept
Over the years, shaping surfboards has never been only about curves, outlines, or volume distribution. While performance remains at the core of every board, the process often extends beyond the foam itself — into color, texture, and the final feeling a board carries both in the water and in the hands of the surfer.
The Rainbow Artwork was born from that spirit of exploration.
Developed through years of experimentation by Ross Williams, founder of Ross Concept Surfboards, the artwork represents a continuous search for new ways to finish a surfboard while preserving the authenticity of handmade craftsmanship. Rather than following a rigid graphic or predetermined template, the Rainbow Artwork evolves organically during the application process, allowing each board to develop its own identity.
During the finishing process, layers of color are carefully resin applied and blended, allowing tones to move naturally across the surface of the board. The palette flows through vibrant spectrums of greens, pinks, yellows, and cyans, creating depth, motion, and subtle transitions in intensity. The result is a dynamic yet balanced finish — colorful and expressive, yet refined enough to complement the original surfboard design without overwhelming it.
The Rainbow Artwork has become one of the most recognizable and sought-after colorways produced by Ross Concept Surfboards, known for its unique visual movement and handcrafted character. It is an artwork developed exclusively within the brand, representing a signature finish that reflects years of experimentation and artistic refinement.
### Two Expressions of the Rainbow Artwork
The Rainbow Artwork can be applied in two distinct styles, each offering a different interpretation of the same concept.
Full Rainbow Artwork
In this approach, the artwork covers the entire bottom of the surfboard. The color softly wraps around the rails, while the deck remains clean and white. This creates a strong visual contrast — a vibrant underside paired with a minimal and balanced deck.
Rainbow Panel Artwork
The Panel Artwork introduces a more structured composition. In this variation, the rainbow finish is applied as a shaped panel that runs across both the bottom and the deck, creating a visual connection between both sides of the surfboard while maintaining a defined graphic presence.
### More Than Decoration
While visually striking, the Rainbow Artwork is not simply decorative. It represents the individuality of each board and the personal relationship between surfer and craft.
Every surfboard that carries the Rainbow finish develops its own character through the shaping and coloring process. The layered tones, organic movement of color, and handmade application ensure that each piece remains unique.
For many surfers, the Rainbow Artwork has become more than just a colorway — it is a signature element of Ross Concept Surfboards, symbolizing creativity, craftsmanship, and the journey each board will take in the water.
Each board carries its own identity.
And like the waves it is meant to ride, no two are ever the same.
Applied across different models, the Rainbow Artwork is less about decoration and more about individuality — an extension of the surfer and the journey each board is meant to take.
Each one carries its own identity, both in and out of the water.
