I wanted to share my story with you and tell you how Surfpaints evolved.
It all started with me being severely confused in Bunnings when no one could answer the question, “what paint works best on surfboards?” This confusion continued into surf shops, shaping bays, and through word of mouth. No one could give me a clear answer. I couldn’t believe how hard it was to find the right products for painting a surfboard. This baffled me even more, considering every surfer seemed to have art on their boards. When I looked at people’s boards in the surf car parks, all I could see were painted surfboards. The surfboard art ranged from fire flares on the rails and scribbled text to skulls and dolphin silhouettes. I knew one thing for certain: surfers loved to paint their boards!
I spent the next three years (alongside my high school teaching job) trying to find out what surfers used to paint their boards and what worked best. After discovering there was so much confusion in the industry about painting a board, I made it my mission to clear things up, with the goal of creating a product guaranteed to work on surfboards and a brand that provides you with the education and everything else you need to paint a surfboard. Surfpaints will be your one-stop shop for painting a surfboard—something I wish I’d had available when I found myself scratching my head in Bunnings.
