The art of spray painting according to T&C Surf Designs: between Hawaiian tradition and contemporary expression

L'art du spray selon T&C Surf Designs : entre tradition hawaïenne et expression contemporaine

At T&C Surf Designs, each surfboard is more than just a surfing tool: it's a canvas on which an entire culture is expressed.
The video " FIRE DESIGN - SURFBOARD SPRAY " immerses us in this vibrant universe where colors come to life, where every curve has meaning, and where art becomes an extension of the ocean.

🌺 A visual tradition born in Hawaii

Since the 1970s, T&C Surf Designs has developed a strong visual and cultural identity. Flamboyant patterns, flames with iconic gradients, and of course, the signature yin-yang: everything stems from a desire to reflect the spirit of surfing, but also to stand out.

Gavin, the Firemaker

Among the figures who shaped this inimitable aesthetic, Gavin occupies a central place. A spray artist, he transformed each board into a unique piece—unmistakable among thousands. His mastery of gesture, movement, and color helped make T&C Surf Designs famous far beyond the Hawaiian beaches.

It was his fiery, expressive and radical creations that literally put our boards on the map : in shops around the world, in the pages of magazines, and in the collective memory of an entire generation.

The expression of a way of life

Every design tells a story—that of the surfer who rides it. At T&C, the board is an extension of the attitude, the mindset, the lifestyle. Art is never decorative: it is identity.

One brand, one culture

T&C Surf Designs is more than a brand: it's a movement. By working with artists like Gavin and sharing this heritage through videos, graphics, and sustainable products, we bring surf culture to life in all its richness and creativity.
