Printing and personalizing a SUP board is the perfect way to give it a unique look. Whether you want to customize a single board or have a series of custom SUP boards made with your own design for a company, surf club, or resort, everything is possible at Watersports4fun. You decide the design, colors, and optionally, the logo that will be placed on the board.
Why personalize a SUP board?
A personalized SUP isn't just aesthetically pleasing, it's also a clever way to make your brand or style stand out on the water. Companies often choose SUPs with logos or branding as promotional materials or for rental. For recreational use, personalization offers the opportunity to make your board truly unique – no one else has the same design.
SUP board printing: various options
There are several techniques for personalizing a SUP board. Each method has its own advantages, durability, and price point. Below, we discuss the three most popular options.
1. Print SUP board with stickers
Stickers are an accessible way to quickly personalize your board. They're easy to apply and available in many shapes and colors. Please note: regular stickers can peel off over time due to water or sunlight. Therefore, always use high-quality, UV- and water-resistant stickers for a lasting result.
2. SUP board printing with vinyl
Vinyl is a durable solution for those who want to have their board professionally customized. The material fits tightly and is resistant to water, sun, and wear. This makes vinyl a popular choice for companies that want to create SUPs with their company logo . However, application requires precision – air bubbles or crooked film are difficult to correct.
3. SUP board with a lacquer layer
Looking for an extra durable and luxurious finish? Then a varnished print is ideal. The varnish protects the design from UV rays and saltwater, keeping your board looking beautiful for years to come. This method is often used for custom SUP boards, which are produced entirely in your own colors and patterns.
What should you pay attention to when personalizing your SUP?
Not every material is suitable for every type of printing. So, check whether your board type is compatible with the chosen method. Inflatable SUP boards, for example, have a different structure than hard epoxy boards. It's also important to consider the conditions you'll be using: sun, saltwater, and heat affect the design's durability.
Clean and prepare your board properly
A clean surface is essential for a durable bond. Thoroughly remove dirt, dust, and grease with a mild detergent and let the board dry completely before starting work. Regular SUP board maintenance prevents stickers or vinyl from peeling off later.
Personalize your SUP with your own design or logo
At Watersports4fun, you can also have custom SUPs produced with your own design . This is ideal for larger quantities, for example, for surf clubs, hotels, or companies that want to showcase their brand identity. You can submit your design in AI, EPS, or PDF format – we'll ensure the print perfectly matches the shape and dimensions of your board.
We offer custom orders starting at 10 pieces, with delivery times between 4 and 8 weeks, depending on the design and season. Contact us via our contact page for a free quote or a digital preview of your design.
