Painting a surfboard.

Postby Tazza » Fri Jun 14, 2013 11:54 pm

Has anyone painted their surfboard? For no apparent reason as to just doing it?

Anyways I'm keen to splash some colour on my board and I was wondering, would painting the rails or part of the rails affect the performance of the board? and same with the bottom?

If anyone has some insight on this that would be mad, have a good one guys!

cheers. :woot:

Have a look at this thread, viewtopic.php?f=6&t=16578&p=159435&hilit=painting+surfboards#p159435 BTW you can often find links to a question by using the search forum function at the top right hand corner of the page. :shock:

You can get posca pens and some one who can draw and get a nice little bit of artwork.

Yeah but would painting the bottom or the rails affect the board?

Taz,
No. It is OK to paint entire board. Performance will not be effected.
