Decals on a softtop.

Postby delambo » Sat Feb 18, 2006 1:02 pm

Can anyone recommend something to stick decals to a soft top surfboard with? My wife and kids have finally agreed to give surfing a go so I bought them a 6 foot softtop with the thoughts that it would be a good beginner board that would be suitable for all of them. Trouble is board psoition when catching a wave is critical on this board, to the point where 1/2 an inch to far forward and you will be catapulted off in a spectacular stlye, and 1/2 an inch too far back and the wave ust passes under you. I therefore want to put a sticker about level with where my wifes nose should be so she doesnt struggle too much. I have tried just using the stickers own stick, but it lasts all of about 5 minutes. Someone reccommended evostick which lasts all of about 5 hours. I dont know whether to try gorrilla grip or whether it will davage the foam top? Any suggestions?

Serious?! Would it not damage the foam? I suppose I could try it on a small patch first just to make sure, that is unless you have tested it and know it works OK.
