Hit the waves in style this summer with a board customised using POSCA marker pens.

POSCA from leading stationery brand uni-ball offers a quick and easy solution for all your customising needs. Available in a wide range of vibrant colours, POSCA enables you to create any pattern or drawing that is only limited by your imagination.

Terry Keating, a graphic artist for leading international clothing and accessories company Quiksilver, is a POSCA enthusiast. Having tried other pens that claim to offer POSCA results she was extremely disappointed to find that they took longer to dry and smeared when coming into contact with water.

Terry said: "When designing a custom surfboard for my niece, POSCA was incredibly easy to use. Thanks to its waterproof qualities, they were the first and only choice for creating board art that would withstand the pressures of the water.

"POSCA works well for all action sports because they last. Whether you're riding a skateboard or surfing the waves, the ink won't chip, smear, crack or peel."

Stuart Barker, marketing manager at uni-ball, said: "POSCA is great for blending and produces paint-like finishes without the hassle or mess.

"With a variety of line widths available from extra fine to chisel tip, POSCA can be easily used on boards to produce a unique creation that gives its user the edge."
