Wetsuit Decals

Postby surfingmilzo » Sun Jun 19, 2011 2:46 pm

Hey Guys

Just Finished watching the Quicksilver Pro Portugal ( congrats to julian wilson) And Most Of The Surfers Have Decals Or Sponsor Prints On The Wetsuits.
Does anyone no how to do this without being sponsored?
thanks

I would honestly ask at a shop or something if they might know how to do it. It would be cool to do that though

Hi ya surfingmilzo, you've got me curious as you've posted about putting stickers on both boards and wetsuits, and both you and I know that it doesn't improve your surfing any, or is it because you wish to emulate someone like Julian Wilson ( amazing surfer BTW). All the top pros are walking billboards for their sponsors, and the sponsors are pretty quick in cutting them loose when they start to drop out of the ratings, the beaches are littered with guys that didn't quite make the grade or fell back.
So I respectfully just wonder why the wish for extra stickers? :?

I don't own a board myself but I'd look at putting stickers on it in the same vein as putting a bumper sticker on a car. It just adds to it is all.

Putting brand name stickers on your board or decals on your wetsuit isnt far differant from wearing a brand name t-shirt I don't think, your just wearing and showing off the brands you like and enjoy.

I get the stickers thing theres nothing wrong with whacking a few stickers on your board, but the wet suit decals is a bit much in my opinion.

Hey Guys and Gals. I dig putting decals on me and my friends wet suits. I do these kind of decals professionally, so it's fun to be creative.
There shouldn't be any problem with dressing up your wetsuit any more than there is a problem with wearing a team jersey or getting a tattoo, were just
expressing our love of something. I know I don't go out there and tell people I'm a pro just because I've got custom decals on my suit, and no one has assumed I was; especially since I'm not that great.. lol
Anyhow, Hit me up if you want a custom decal for your suit. Their pretty reasonably priced depending on the design and size. Contact me through my website
below. Note that your coming by way of surfing-waves.com and I'll give them and you credit!

See you out there, Peace.

I know that now, thanks to this post. If I ever own a wetsuit I will know not to use iron on transfers. Thank you for that :)
