If your keen go for it ...personally I don't even like deck grip on my shortboards. Only ever had one sticker on a surfboard & it was applied by the previous owner to cover up a ding. So I guess it could be handy from that pov, otherwise I don't see the point unless it reminds you of some good old days & brings a smile to your face

I think sometimes they're very important, but only as a reference and only on the deck.

When I get a board made I always ask for a decal at around 38 inches back from the nose, if I make a board myself, I just paint an X on the deck before I glass it.

But I have had boards that have had nothing there, so I try to find a sticker to put there, anything from Sex Wax to Goodyear or hello kitty will do me, I just need the reference point.

Good point there having a reference point on the deck.
I must admit they dont do a lot for me. Maybe a little one between the fins or to cover up a ding repair. Saying that I do have that masive Billabong sticker on the bottom of my Rabbiage board.

I say paint it,draw on it,put stickers on it. It's your Farkn stick do what you like with it, I don't have anything on my boards but if I did, be ****d if I give flying **** what some coffee sipping car park surfer thought of me. Their judgment means nothing , unless you walked around telling peeps it's a sponsored board.

Hahaha mac, I didn't even read any members posts to be honest.
its just like you wearing a McT shirt , me I don't care what you wear,,we know you own some McT shirts and we know you like the brand, so when you roll up to the beach are you sponsored? Are you a wanker? Now you might get my last post.

Sorry I would like to scrub that last post, never never mention fashion to a gold coast local, Chrispy and Lacey the fashion queens will be in here like a flash.

Cool song Al.

Back in the 80's they were cool, today a total wank unless your sponsored by the companies the stickers represent or pimping something for family or friends.
