Customized boards?

Postby Gioskate » Sat Nov 25, 2017 6:08 pm

Hey guys, I'd love to customize my board.. I've seen a beautiful image in a longboard/skateboard shop and I'd love to print it in my board :D Someone knows how could I do it? I've no clue.

Thank you all! Gio

Dude, are you talking about Longboard Skateboards made from wood ? As opposed to Longboard surfboards which are mainly foam and fiberglass ? ( which our forum is for SURF boards NOT SKATE boards )

But whatevers, you can get POSCA paint pens and draw on either skateboard or surfboards. Then rattle can clear over it.

Hey waikikikichan! Thanks for answering me :) I perfectly know that it is a surf forum.. I'm both a surf and skate lover and I have both a surf board and a skate board. My answer was different, maybe I didn't explain myself correctly, sorry :)

Anyway, I meant that I've seen a beautiful board in a longboard/skateboard shop (just seen it) and I'd love to print the image that I saw there in my surf board. I was asking for some suggestion about how could I print it, drawing it or customize it someway! :D

P.s. Posca seems a great artist! Love it!!

POSCA is a type of paint pen, not a person. Your question is still unclear. You want to put the same image that you saw on a surfboard onto your own surfboard ? If it’s drawn on the glass, you can do the same. If it’s under the glass, then you can’t. Although for your next board, you can take a picture of anything ( your dog, superhero, flowers, your girlfriend, etc ) and have it laser print transferred on to “rice paper”. Then it gets glassed under the fiberglass just like the other labels and shaper’s logo.
You can also put Aloha prints and kimono fabric under the glass. But check with the glasser first.
