The Art of
Board Design

From technical resolution to color theory, we help you master the tools to create a masterpiece that performs as good as it looks.

MODULE 01

Visual Composition

The SUP board is a long, narrow canvas. Learn how to place your artwork so it stays visible even when you're standing on the deck.

  • Focal point placement
  • Pattern repetition tips
  • Border & rail margins
MODULE 02

Image Technicals

Resolution is key to professional results. We explain why the 150 DPI rule exists and how to upscale your art without losing quality.

  • Vector vs Raster graphics
  • File formats (JPG, PNG, TIFF)
  • Upscaling software tools

Technical Specs for Print

Resolution Requirement

For a crisp, non-pixelated print, all uploaded images should be at least 150 DPI at actual size. Images below 100 DPI will be automatically flagged for manual review.

Color Management

We use high-end UV printing. For the most accurate color representation, we recommend using the CMYK color space (FOGRA39 profile) during your design process.

Rail Margins

Avoid placing small text or complex logos within 2 inches of the board edges. During the manual assembly process, these areas are subject to slight wrapping.
