Thinking... Thinking... I am thinking about this custom tint for my Sumo. Except, the black stripe would be royal blue.
What do you all think?

i like both of them even with the black on it. funny i was checking out the sumo the other day
couldnt go wrong with the blue or the sunset
Well sorry to say but the sunset is a one off and yep its all mine,however Simondo I note you like your blue on boards so let me think about this for a second or even shorter a drink
Hey Simondo, I like the black stripe for impact but on sunny days the wax will melt (maybe not in vicco though!). We have a 6'4 Twinfish in the shop that's virtually the same colours (a bit more black) and it gets lots of good comments.
But personally i think a darker blue stripe as you say (or maybe even purple or orange - depending on the tone) would be more practical than black.
And I think 62mac has had black and won't go back to that again! (surfboards that is) - Mark
Go to Google, and type in "surfboard tints".... Then click "images". It's a fun little peek!
(let me google that for you - lmgtfy...)

Theres a few good ones on the Hawaiian pro designs website. Go to the Australian site not the Yank one.
If you look at the HPD site Simondo go to the blog section where there are 2 pages of tint / pigment combo's to drool over.

Where are the serviette's? I need to wipe the dribble off my chin !!
Fark me... on Google, after searching for images of surfboard tint, you can then click Blue on their colour chart, and then the blue tints variations are displayed !! Wow !

I think I might go for this scheme on The Sumo ! Double Stringers, White Tint, Blue Bands. Simple but neat.
