Glitter board

I’m in the middle of building my first ever surfboard in my study leave between secondary school and collage. I have been working well but due to not being very “arty” i have opted for an alternative to traditional decal; Glitter and goggly eyes. Could anyone advise me if this is silly, as I really dont know whether it is plausable. Thanks

there is a boss gold flake board in the Foam Boards section here.

I heard that they sell real well in Lagoona, Long beach and San Francisco… especially if you paint a rainbow on it.

Also selling well in Florida, where surfers are putting Fish hooks on their booties and selling the Baracuda after their surf sessions.

Search for holographic (automobile) paints or metal flake. Metal flake is usually now plastic.

Don’t let RKelly (infamous singer/childmolester?) dissuade you. Glitter paints were very popular in the 80’s and is currently very popular with girl’s surfboards.

Ease up rKelly; that attitude is not very welcome at Swaylocks.

Have a nice day,

Ease up Rolliges… it was a joke. If I was so uptight, I might be offended by the RKelly crack… touche’

I may not be a vet, but I’ve been here long enough to see plenty of jokes/sarcasm/cynicism come through here… for the most part unscathed. If you want we can start a whole thread on ‘where to draw the line’, but I’m sure you’ll find there are people that are even more conservative than you… who might find one of your comments ‘too far’. It’s part of life, and I prefer it… if everything was black and white, well, that wouldn’t be too fun would it now. We could all run around… sorry, walk around, telling very neutral non-offensive jokes that we learned in pre-school. Let the good times roll.

I think you’ll find the Baracuda crack to be fairly close to the truth… no, not the fishhooks, but I know I wouldn’t paddle out in Florida on a sparkly board… though maybe I’m just being too conservative :wink:

Thanks very muchos dudes. have done it. looks swell. i’ll post an image when its complete.

what about the googly eyes? size, placement, inset or surface mounted?

i saw the board with 1000 eyeballs, looking so fine that some reviewers felt totally seasick or at least slightly squeamish… but googly eyes, no doubt about it, magnificent, a vast leap forward, leaves non-moving graphics in the dust.

Peace. You see I haven’t surfed in two months and I’m a little edgey…

Ditto… well not two months, but it feels like forever. Got some sloppy evening waist high chop last night, not what I wanted, but it took the edge off.

Cheers.
