Please note with all surfboard/SUP purchases we are not liable or at fault for the placement and colour of logos as they can vary from board to board. Due to the nature of surfboard production, most surfboards are hand finished, resulting in slight variations in placement of decals, colours and resin. We always strive to use the most accurate depiction of boards available.
