When I get new skis, I sticker em up, paint n stencil em, and other wise make them mine.
I dont do this to make them look cool, even though fiddle faddle stickers are the raddest hotness out there. SO GREASY AS!
anyways.. i digress, I do it because I know theyre mine. So they dont get stolen.
It makes sense to me that a random pair of skis with no discernible markings will get stolen way before mine will.
I read about the dood that lost his brand new watchlifes, and I felt bad. So I thought maybe share this obvious wisdom with the world. It isnt like my boards couldnt be stolen, but at least if I see them, Ill know for sure.

Hope this saves some people from the dreaded ski theft.

ya, i generally spray paint somthing on my skis, although it's usually only about 1/2 as cool as i imagined beforehand and gets destroyed with use. why not, individuality is better than cookie cutter.

If someone stole my skis it wouldnt be that easy to conceal, because i ride chronic wides but both of them are the left ski graphic and they have tiny burn indents on the back

you gotta primer the shit, so the paint has something to stick to.

i always put my name on the bottom of my skis in big, pretty writing. My Hawaiian name (Ka Noa) is stenciled on the nose of all of my surfboards On the nose of all of my surfboards my Hawaiian name (Ka Noa) is stenciled on in old english so its a habit for me to personalize my stuff.
But, i figured out that if my skis ever get jacked, it will be easier to see them from the runs. think about it, you can watch so many more pairs of skis go by by chillin under a lift, looking up.
