Maybe your snowboard is old, maybe it’s ugly, or maybe you just want a change. No matter your motivation, giving your snowboard a face lift is made easy when you change out the deck graphics with a new skin. There are several services that can print and ship a new skin. One stands out for its flexibility and variety of ready-made designs.
Log onto OriginalSnowboardArt.com, choose a design, place an order, and receive a full-sheet sticky-back deck topper ready to apply to your snowboard. If you’re an artist, you can design your own graphics or join the site and collect royalties for designs when others use them.
At $70 it’s an affordable, eco-friendly alternative to a new board. The on-site video explains more about the service. The YouTube video above shows how to apply a similar product called BoardWrapz.
