An airbrushed design (airsrpay) is custom artwork painted on your board after the resin tint. It's completely different from the resin color — you can do an airsrpay on top of any tint. This is where truly unique, one-of-a-kind boards are born.

What's an Airsrpay?

An airsrpay is hand-painted artwork applied with an airbrush gun. It can be anything from simple pinlines and geometric designs to full landscape art. The only limit is your imagination and your budget (more complex work costs more).

Airsrpay vs Resin Tint

Resin Tint: Solid color throughout the board, applied during the glassing process. Limited to one or two colors typically.

Airsrpay: Custom painted design on top, usually after the board is complete. Can be multi-color, detailed, photorealistic, abstract, or anything in between.

Many surfers do both — a colored resin tint as the base, then an airsrpay design on top for maximum impact.

Pricing

Airsprays typically range from $50 for simple designs to $100+ for complex, detailed work. The cost depends on: - Complexity of the design - Number of colors - Coverage area (full deck, tail only, sides, etc.) - Level of detail required
