Nowadays, you can customize almost any item that you own, and let your own personality shine through with the designs. There is no limit to what you want the designs to say, how they look like, and where they can actually be placed. Even snowboards can now reflect the personality of their owners or at the very least their thoughts on specific concerns. There are professionals who can help you put your thoughts directly on your snowboard, but you can also do this by yourself.

Step 1: You can go as wildly creative with the design as you want – keep in mind that this is your snowboard, so you are the one in charge. Draw, layout or stencil the design that you want to be placed on the snowboard, so that you have a pattern to follow. The design doesn’t have to be something that conforms to the norm – it can be as elaborate or as simple as you want it to be. If you are not into drawing, you might want to ask your friends to do the sketching or drawing for you.

Step 2: Make sure that your board is as free from dirt as possible, so you have a clean surface to work on with the design. After thoroughly removing the dirt and grime, use sandpaper to scuff the board a bit, so the paint would stick even better to the surface.

Step 3: Place a tape or any plastic material over any area of your snowboard that will not be included in the design. Before proceeding with the actual design, use a primer to ensure that the design will look even (and also to protect your snowboard). Let the primer dry for as long as possible.

Step 4: When the primer is completely dry, you can now proceed with painting the board. You don’t have to worry too much about making mistakes, because you can always paint on top of those mistakes.

Step 5: Allow the snowboard to dry, and then spray on a clear coat to seal the painted-on design. Make sure that you allow enough time for the coats to dry before using the board.

Now that you have customized your snowboard, it’s time to show off your masterpiece to your friends. Who knows, this might be the beginning of a lucrative business for you!
