Fingerprint: Woman in red bikini with arm arched above head standing behind shirtless grinning man in magenta trunks on red and white surfboard, four clover-shaped colour-coded score panels with matching numbers and player labels, four-way symmetrical colour scheme in green, purple, red and yellow-green, turquoise water and lime-green clouds behind, Surf Rider title
The single most memorable element is the pair of surfers in the central gap between the four score panels: a woman in a red bikini with one arm arched over her head, standing directly behind a grinning bare-chested man in magenta trunks holding his arms out wide on a red and white board. The four clover-shaped score panels are each a different colour - green, purple, red and yellow-green - with a matching large number above and a matching footer, giving a four-way colour-coded symmetry that is unusual on a backglass. A small inset panel below the title reads PLAYERS above four numbered circles, 1 to 4, that are themselves colour-coded green, purple, red and yellow-green to match the panels. There is a noticeable area of paint loss: a tan scuffed patch and a diagonal crack in the lower right water area.

A painted surf-themed backglass laid out symmetrically around a central column of art. Across the top, a yellow lozenge panel carries a large red script title with a white drop shadow, with a smaller cursive word above it, set against a turquoise sky. A red arc ribbon runs along the top left edge and a matching one at the top right; green ribbon bands beneath them carry white lettering. Four clover-shaped score windows, each in a different colour, fill the left and right halves: green upper left, purple upper right, red lower left and yellow-green lower right, each with a large number in a white-on-colour header, three white digit cards showing numerals, and a label in tall white capitals naming the player. In the centre, a tanned woman with dark hair in a red bikini stands behind a tanned bare-chested man in magenta swimming trunks who faces the viewer with arms spread and legs astride a red and white surfboard. The background shows a yellow sky with lime-green cloud banks, turquoise water with white foam, a purple headland at the left and a red triangular sail at the right. Paint loss and a tan scuffed patch mark the lower right water area.
