Surfboards That Stick: Creating Custom Waterproof Stickers for Surfboards

Why create custom waterproof stickers for your surfboard?

Customising your surfboard with personalised stickers is a great way to showcase your creativity and make your board unique to you. With our completely customisable vinyl surfboard stickers, you’ll be ready to hit the waves with your personalised board anytime.

Our surfboard stickers are tough. So there’s no worry when it comes to taking your customised board in the sea. They’re waterproof and virtually indestructible, made with a high-tack adhesive; they’re made to last, no matter how choppy it gets.



What kind of stickers can I put on my surfboard? 

Our sports equipment stickers are easy to personalise and are the perfect option when it comes to making your board truly yours. Whether you want to decorate just the nose and tail, or the entire board, your board is guaranteed to look spectacular with little effort. 

To keep your board looking fantastic wave after wave, we recommend adding a laminate to your chosen waterproof vinyl to keep your design looking sharp. But, that’s not all, you can split a sheet of stickers over multiple custom designs, so you can use large surf stickers over the deck to create a unique central image that makes your board stand out and match your aesthetic.

Which stickers are waterproof?

If you’re looking for the perfect waterproof sticker to adorn your surfboard, we recommend our customisable vinyl labels. Available in clear or white, these durable stickers stand up to anything. Not only are they our most popular sticker, but they’re also printed using UV-resistant inks, which prevent your design from fading when exposed to sunlight. So, no matter how many hours you spend in the sun surfing with your friends, you can rest assured your surf stickers will continue to be vibrant and look their best.


Want your board to really pop and stand out? Our white vinyl stickers are a great choice. Also available in a perforated cut, this unique design creates a 3D effect, adding another dimension to your personalised board. If you’re looking for something to really highlight your design, opt for our clear vinyl stickers. They’re the perfect choice for more complex custom sticker shapes and designs. If you’re looking for a low-cost way to customise your surfboard, our waterproof vinyl stickers come out on top.

We definitely recommend our waterproof stickers if you’re looking for a low-cost way to personalise your stuff. But why stop there? Create custom window clings for your sunglasses, camper van windscreen and more. They’re great for competitions or letting the world know how much you love all things surf.
  

What’s the best size for surfboard stickers? 

When it comes to choosing the best size and shape for your surf stickers, it depends entirely on the size of your board and sticker placement. After a nose-to-tail design to customise your surfboard? Our vinyl stickers can be cut to any size. Simply enter the dimensions you’re after, and we’ll cut it to fit!

The most popular styles of surf stickers are decals and full spectrum designs. If you want to make a statement, go big with a sticker that covers your deck or rocker nose-to-tail. Keeping it old school? Then aim for a few well-designed vintage-style decals on the nose or tail.

If you’re looking for something smaller, perhaps to decorate just the nose or tail, we’d recommend opting for a smaller size sticker. No matter what size or design you’re looking for, with our cut-to-size method you can design your sticker just as you imagined, to fit perfectly to your board.

How to apply surfboard stickers and decals 

When you’ve finished designing your perfect sticker, it’s time to apply. Once you’ve picked the ideal spot, all you’ll need for the perfect application is a scraper, a dash of soap, some water and a soft cloth.

  • Firstly, make sure your board is clean and dry, this ensures you’re removing any existing wax and sand grains that may affect the application. We recommend cleaning your surfboard with soap and water, and making sure your board is completely dry before application.
  • Now, let’s get sticking! Before application, make sure you’ve decided exactly where you’d like your sticker to be applied, with our high-tack adhesive, once your sticker has been placed, it’s not going anywhere! Then, simply take the paper backing off your surfboard sticker.
  • Once you’ve decided on the perfect spot, press down on the sticker gently from one end, and use your card or scraper to smooth out any air bubbles, for a seamless, high-quality application.
  • Once stuck down, leave the sticker a couple of hours to fully dry before you take your new, personalised surfboard to hit the waves.
