- Painter's tape
- Acrylic spray paint

Marisa was inspired to grom her board with a stripe design she saw online. The reverse rails and wide spacing of the stripes created a simple, but dramatic design. When doing this design, be sure to measure the stripes so that you don't end up with an odd size/shaped stripe at the nose or tail. Also, make sure your painter's tape is a good quality one (3M original blue is good) that sticks well, otherwise the spray paint will seep under and ruin the design.
Marisa included her signature pineapple on the bottom of her board, a perfect contrast to the bold stripes. She drew out the design first with a colored pencil (which is way better than a lead pencil that smears and can mix with your paint) to make sure the size and location were as she wanted. Tracing over it with an acrylic paint pen and finishing the board off with an acrylic clear coat, Marisa's black and white design was complete and the results are pretty sick!
