Rainbow Surfboards was founded by Johnny Gale in 1969 in Laguna Beach, California. With the ground breaking designs of Mike Hynson, the psychedelic airbrush art of John Bredin, Starman, as well as the Rainbow Island Family, Rainbow Surfboards was born. All surfboards are hand crafted by top shapers: Mike Hynson, Rich "Toby" Pavel, Steve Clark & Gary MacNabb. Boards can include custom artwork by original and recognized artists. The boards are glossed and polished to replicate the original versions. Rainbow Surfboards has a deep history that originates here in Laguna Beach, from drug smuggling, to prison breaks, to evading the FBI, to psychedelic surfing. We are proud to offer such a historic line of surfboards like Rainbow Surfboards. Not only is the secret history mind-boggling, but so are the amazing shapes and the performance that they carry.
