Sticking stickers to your surfboard.

I'm guessing it's proably not waterproof - is there any way of making it so? Are there any drawbacks to covering a surfboard in stickers? (Apart from the obvious risk of looking like a nob if you do it tastelessly!)

with my longboard stickers keep on falling off, so i use a hair dryer and spend 2 mins on each sticker making sure its propaly on, but i say the more stickers the better. stickers rule

I put stickers on my boards over where there are dings. Yes people Iam a cheapo... I don't get my boards fixed... I get them stickered! and I get them free!!! haha

[bluesnowcone]

that what i do lol

You avoid repairing dings by placing stickers over them??

Thats mental lol

[bluesnowcone]

well if its serious il fix it with a bit of rudys, but if its a harsh scratch il sticker and hope the boards still water tight.

[Laguna]

surely, wouldn't the sticker easily peal off when you get it in the water if you have stuck it over a ding?

[bluesnowcone]

well if its a gaping hole il repair it, but it shouldnt peal off if you stick it down properly

I put three stickers on this fish.
I don't cover up dings with them, I was just board.
They havn't come off yet, but I don't really use that board much anymore.

It's pretty simple.

Scrape the wax off the area.

Then clean the area with wax remover/acetone.

As soon as it's dry put the sticker on.

Not too different to paint. Should last years.

it makes your board stand out, also if someones looking for you youo can tell thm to look for the board with stickers on it

Funny enough today, some guy was surfing this longboard without a leash and his board came flying onto the shore when he wiped out. So when I was paddling out I caught his board for him and notice this huge 'animal' sticker going across the board along with some other smaler stickers. So other surfers tend to use stickers to make their board look better too

[bluesnowcone]

well iv stuvk a few stickers at the noes of my board just to make it look cooler and give me something to focus on when i need to paddle hard for a late wave

Who needs to pay 60 dolalrs for ding repair when you have stickers! Exactly what I do...

Who needs to pay 10 dollars for a sticker when duct tape works just as well

[el_timmo]

my stickers were all free, but I use duct tape as well, but only when I've run out of free stickers
