I am wondering if anyone knows of a durable, colored peel and stick product that would conform to the bottom of a twintip. My board is black and when it has flipped it is often very difficult to see, so I thought maybe there is a peel and stick product in a bright color I could put on the board that would be removable when I am ready to sell the board. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

A friend placed flouro color stickers all around. Seems to hold.
Any school shop should have some for wrapping books. Cut the shape u like, runded works best.

Painting your fins a bright color is another option that might work for you.

You’re better off attaching something buoyant to one of the fin screws. When upside down, that will make the board much easier to see. This solution uses a plastic bottle. The pliers are needed to remove the bottle at the end - if not screwed in tightly, it will fall off.

Like you, I also have a board with a black bottom. I've been thinking a colored boat wrap would be the best and easiest to use. It's also removable if it needs replacement.
Example here...

There was a product from Ocean Rodeo called GoJoe to flip the board, however I don't have any experience with it.
