Present your surfboard designs in a stunning surfboard mockup. This mockup is free and features a realistic summer beach house setting. Great for branding and design presentations.
A surfboard mockup is a great way for surfboard shapers, surf artists, and surf brands to see how a graphic or paint job is going to look on a surfboard (before the graphic or paint job is done on foam or fiberglass). Mockups allow users to see how logos or artwork will look on a surfboard’s surface without having to do a full custom production run. This makes mockups a valuable oportunity to see a surfboard production idea without suffering the cost of a custom surfboard blank.
A lot of surfboard design mockups use a picture or a digital 3D design of a surfboard. These digital designs use a picture or 3D design of a surfboard at an angle that shows the surfboard’s rocker and the surfboard’s rails. A mockup design is going to use Photoshop, Illustrator or some other digital design tool to warp a design. A design is then printed to surfboards. It is important to remember that even the cleanest and most aesthetic designs can look warped or stretched on the asymmetric surfaces of surfboards.
A lot of surfboard brands use digital surfboard mockups to advertise new surfboard lines. The same surfboard mockup design can show different advertising designs for different surfboard lines or even different sponsorship or fins setups. This design actually helps surf brands get saleable feedback on their surfboard designs.
Aside from commercial purposes, surfboard mockups are a great addition to design portfolios as well as print-on-demand services. Independent artists can use these to display surf-inspired artwork on boards that have been airbrushed or finished with a resin tint. Some mockups take it a step further and even have texture such as gloss coat sheen, wood deck grain, or fabric weave behind translucent resin. This allows the client to get a feel for the surfboard even though it won’t be see-or-ridden for a while.
