If you’ve got an old board lying around this might be fun to try out.
This style of surfboard art involves using dishwashing soap to create unique designs on the board that almost make the paint look like it was perfectly splattered on the board. You only need a few things to paint your board this way: spray paint, masking tape, dishwashing soap, and a hose.
The first thing you do is tape off the areas you don’t want painted such as a traction pad, the rails, or logos. Then splatter on some soap in any pattern you want. Spray paint the board where you want the design to be. At this point you can do multiple colors, or add more soap after the first color. After that you spray off the soap with the hose and remove the tape and you’ll have a sweet looking board.
