It would add a lot of weight. For a board that is already finished, you would either posca pen or spray paint a new design over the existing one. Then seal it with a clear acrylic. For a new board, we either airbrush or laminate a design onto the foam and then it is either sand or glossed over with resin and cloth over the design. Protects the artwork and makes the colors pop.

There are a couple of things you would have to do to get the best results. First you would need to use a high-resolution, mega-pixel camera to capture the image with proper lighting. Second, given the process of surfboard contruction, you would need for your art to bleed outside of the outline of your surfboard. Meaning your design is laminated onto the foam and then the excess is trimmed off to the silhouette of your surfboard. If your design is already trimmed, it is next to impossible to laminate it onto a shaped blank and have it come out looking perfect. So, one option to do in your case, would for us to resize your artwork slightly bigger (around 2″ should be fine) than what your actual board size and then you would have to live with the trimmed off excess of your art. Hope that helps. Hey Thomas,
