    I don't think you can put a sticker on your surfboard wrong but my sponsor stickers keep falling off after surfing. Do you need to sand the spot down a little or something? Its getting annoying asking for more stickers every week. Any suggestions?? Thanks

    The adhesive used by most sponsor sticker manufacturers is inferior. This may be either due to sh1tty sponsors or their sh1tty promotion management team.. either way, try sanding the area a little, apply sticker, and duct tape around the edges. Some gorilla tape will do nicely.

    Alternatively you can apply crazy glue generously on the surface where u plan to place your sponsors sticker.

    Should hold more better.

    Put them on before your custom stick gets glassed !!!

    This is excellent - a topic yet discussed.

    Nothing is more important than sticker placement and letting people know you're sponsored. Man, try it on a boogie board. Jeremiah couldn't keep hsi Rip Curl, Wavejammer, TFL, Freestyle or Gotcha stickers on.

    Dude, I FRIGGIN MISS being a grom. You old guys who took it up later in life really missed out on THE BEST time. Nothing like being a surf stoked high school student.

    And kids graduate from high school. It is so easy. Just show-up. Don't be dumb and drop out. Thanks.

    why wouldn't you want to disclose the smaller companies?...the whole point of sponsorship is to advertise the company that sponsors you. hmmm

    Definitely! But, you must put them on the deck of your board prior to waxing otherwise it won't work.
