clear coat base??

Seeing as i will be using my skate on my tramp a bit, would it be possible to apply a layer of clear coat to the base to help protect the picture better?

my cousin is a wizz with a spray gun and has clear coat etc, wasn't sure if it would affect the board? Confused

noobie, once your picture starts to wear off people will think you are pro and you can just tell them you hit 80 ft a-frames all day long.

im in victoria on port phillip bay. have the murray river etc but wanna get to eden and dubbo.
sounds good, being my first board i wanted something not overly fancy but had to have some benefits, good rocker, fins etc.. costing me $270 AUS to get it to my front door, seems fair enough Pacman

noobie, have you given it a ride yet? the pelican is a really great board, i dunno what it is about it either the smaller size or the heavier weight but it spins much better than my oak team machine, its a 3 shuv machine!

i know its in queensland and a cable but i forget the name of the place and the guy who ordered them. ive made so many wakeskates ive probably eaten 20 so bring it on.

andrew has had his board for over 3 months and rides at the cable everyday and the graphic is worn but you can still see it. he also tries to grind it off and has a huge chunk taken out of the front from whinching. i've given him a new board but he refuses to ride it!??? we also have a new board and are in the process of testing it. i drove my truck over it and it laughed at me Wink

Gold coast one either went bank rupt or i dont know, i heard a story from one of the logan cable operators that someone left a ski handle attached to the dock and loaded it and like pulled half the dock a part (mcthrust i think christian said it so im not sure if thats true) but yeah somone could be telling porkies on that one Razz
