    I'm new to skim and ordered a vic foamie and have a dumb question(s). I see alot of you have stickers on the tops of your boards. What type of stickers are you guys / should i use? I imagine they are pretty thin if not more of a film. Are they like the decals you use on model cars or planes or are they just your regular car/bumper stickers? Pvc? Vinal? How are they waterproof? Best websites to order them from? I actually bought a new car in February and still haven't found the perfect sticker for yet. I hadn't put a whole lot into it just something I'd like to stumble upon but I'd really like to put a little me style graphics onto my board.

    Thanks in advance.

    The new sickness. 3/4ths tapered to 5/8ths double carbon fiber Dude Cruise. So stoked for this weekend.
    That's such a sick tone of blue and that board looks amazing ! I don't really like the bottom color but I love the colors you chose for the top and the pads went really well with it !

    They are just vinyl stickers, are far as I know all vinyl stickers are some what water proof. Just don't get the ones that have paper inside and vinyl outside.

    Finally some pad placement people can't complain about. I really like that board just be careful with the red bottom.

    Board is pure awesome. As said above, just be careful and remember to put your back foot way back or be ready for the consequences of having a red bottom

    Tommy you're a good dude n that board is sick, but to me it looks like the W is a little wide for my tastes. Personal preference n all, but I find if the kickers aren't horizontal to each other it messes me up.
    Board looks great though, enjoy!

    i like it wide, and i have size 12 feet so it doesn't really feel odd. i just want a non choppy day before i go off to school so i can actually get an opinion about the board.

    Shit man, with feet that size you could probably do pretty well even without the board
    I was wondering alright about the excelsior size, I think you've answered that question
    I've a cruise ship here n I'm finding it hard to snap round quickly, but on liners there's no comparison. Hope you catch some good clean ones soon, chop is very un-dude for the dude cruise. I've the scars to prove it!

    the biggest size in 3/4ths is the best. it floats like a surf board
    I would aspire to be me if I wasn't already

    shit man you wanna see an ancient slotty?
    check this thing out, shaped in 1990 by Adrian Prince himself. my friend got it at a flee market for 50 bucks last year. my exile snapped at the beginning of the summer so i've been riding this every day for the past few months. i've gotten by far the most memorable rides/barrels of my life on this magic carpet. it's a whopping 23" wide and 51" tall, 3/4" thick with beautifully tapered rails. this thing puts dude cruises to shame.

    I just got my custom ordered Exile in today. It is a Dude Cruise USS Excelsior, 3/4 tapered to 5/8, S-glass, epoxy resin. Beside it is my 1996 Slotstik provac with resin art bottom. I can't wait to ride.

    I love my old Slotty to. I just hope the Dude Cruise will last 16 years like the Slotstik did.
