# DIY Disco Surfboards This Honestly WTF DIY Helps You Create a Shiny Surfboard By Janelle Savel | Published 2014-01-29 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diy-disco-surfboard References: [honestlywtf](http://honestlywtf.com/diy/diy-disco-surfboard-with-luv-aj/) & [luvaj](http://www.luvaj.com/pages/about) Riding the waves is a personal, gratifying experience, and one that can be even more fulfilling with the personalized DIY disco surfboard. Inspired by Luv AJ‘s lookbook, HonestlyWTF.com teaches us how to make a disco surfboard. To make a personalized disco surfboard, you will need a surfboard, a surfboard wax scraper, pickle wax remover, Weldbond adhesive and 1200 1″ x 1″ square mirror tiles. The level of difficulty in making one of these isn't too hard, yet it will be very tedious gluing 1200 tiles on the board. One of these surfboards will definitely stand out from the pack, so you can hang ten and everyone will be able to spot you from a distance. The board doubles as a mirror, so when you get out of the water, you can check yourself out, just like everyone else will be doing. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.2/10 - Popularity: 13% | Activity: 16% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Sports](https://www.trendhunter.com/sports) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Personalized Surf Equipment:** More people are looking to personalize their surf equipment with DIY projects like the disco surfboard. - **Reflective Sporting Goods:** Sports equipment that doubles as a reflective surface, like the disco surfboard, is a growing trend. - **Arts and Crafts in Extreme Sports:** The intersection of arts and crafts and extreme sports is a unique and growing trend, with projects like the DIY disco surfboard leading the way. ### Where This Applies - **Sporting Goods:** The sporting goods industry can capitalize on the trend of personalized and reflective equipment like the disco surfboard. - **Art Supplies and Craft Stores:** Art supplies and craft stores can target the growing trend of arts and crafts in extreme sports by offering specialized products like surfboard decorating supplies. - **DIY and Home Improvement:** DIY and home improvement industry can target those looking to personalize their sporting equipment with tutorials and products like the disco surfboard tutorial. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Surfboard-Inspired Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pacific-collection.md) - [Adaptable Nine-in-One Surfboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/newave-modular-surfboard.md) - [Biotech-Informed Surfboard Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/battboard-electric-surfboard.md) - [Eco-Friendly 3D-Printed Surfboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paradoxal-surfboards.md) - [Luxurious Wooden Surfboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luxurious-wooden-surfboard.md) - [Streetwear-Informed Surfboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nike-and-stssy.md) - [Surfboard Waste Blocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/surf-block-maui.md) - [Curvaceous Shelf-Paired Mirrors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wave-mirror.md) - [Ruggedized Electric Surfboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ruggedized-electric-surfboard.md)
