its your board.... Color is all personaly preference... So why don't you get what YOU think looks better? don't worry about what others think...

don't get white...the color would probably change in the water and it would show dirt really easily. If your gonna get a color at all, go with red. Otherwise I say black.

yeah white would eventually turn green in my lake Rolling Eyes

just go with simple black

red board with blue grip would look sweet. for a white board id say plain old black looks cool.

If the griptape is skateboard griptape then I'm gonna warn you about the quality of it. I've had several different colors of grip on my skateboards & the colored grips are usually poor quality, they tear off the board fairly easily & don't maintain their "sticky" quality for as long as black grip.

If it's specially made wakeskate grip then I have no idea.

Well I just got it done and it took 3 sheets and I got black because of quality reasons. Now it kinda looks like the new 4-tracs because it doesnt have the strip down the middle.

It took the pieces because i went to a skate shop and all they have wa tape for the skate deck. Sorry dont have any pics but i'm kinda disappointed in the quality of the job the lady did.
