White boards look good.

^^^agreed. Just recently repaired & painted an old board...all-white, not as a protest to graphic designs, but because the wind was up the next day & I had to get a coat of sugar on it...FAST!

It looks good to me, besides...what are the graphics for anyways? I'm normally too busy admiring the scenery, or watching for creatures!

^ whites boring.

Till ya ding it and then you have all the 'fun' in the world doing a repair.

It's ok if you never sail and your boards weigh a ton

I loved the 08/09 F2 missile graphics from MV Agusta, probably my most favourite graphics ever. I cant believe they have gone so wrong this year.

Also loved the Fanatic new wave/freewave with the wave graphic, it was the only board my wife didnt mind being in the house too Would have hated to do a repair though, the detail in it would make it absolutely impossible. I think if board companies do something like that then maybe they should make a replacement graphic available.

The silver and blue Starboard sonics and red s-types were also thumbs up from me.

Aside from that keep it basic- sanded white with simple shapes.

Coming soon to an ocean near you
