Ahoy peeps,

Just after some input as to whether people would be interested in custom snowboard deck graphic skin. (Big ass sticker covering the whole top)
Im thinking about using the equipment I have access to at work to produce them.

Those of you who went to the shred last year would have seen the dick board that I did for deano, which was a high resolution, laminated, bubble free apply vinyl sticker that is waterproof and when used on cars (what it’s actually designed for) is guaranteed for 5+ years.

Basically anything can be printed onto these ‘skins’ ie your own artwork, pics, shit off the net, giving you a chance to make your board lid a one of a kind sliding implement of radness limited only by your imagination, and possible copyright claims wink

I haven’t fully worked out the pricing but if it were say between $50-100 would people be interested?
I know people, me included, pick boards by the graphics but this would give you a chance to buy a board with the specs you like and let you have graphics you really love if the factory ones werent what you really too keen on to begin with.

Look forward to hearing your thoughts
Stay rad
Trent

Awesome idea! I think there’d be a market for this, it would even be a sweet runner-up prize for the snowboard design contest!

Great idea!

I wouldn’t put one on my current board, but my spare is almost completely black. I tried to sticker it up to give it some colour, but a nice new shiny skin definitely appeals to me.  thumbsup

I nearly hit you up for one of these earlier in the year when I got my new board (bought it for the specs certainly not the graphic)

Unfortunately the board has copped a beating so will probably be retired at the end of the season and I’m starting to feel more secure with the pink and purple look blush

Definitely a market in it though if you can keep the cost down.

I echo drc’s comment. If the price is right I’m in, might need to wait for my next board though, liking my current boards graphic lol
