Cave Painting Australian Aboriginal Art

stripping gloss of surfboard?

so i want to strip the gloss of my surfboard and then paint on my own design then paint gloss back over the top. my board is like a bit yellow and old and Aboriginal kinda art on it thats a bit dated, so i wanna change it.
if i could do this what kind of tools would i need to use and how would i do it?
Yeah thanks for that guys,
i think i might look into if it is worth a bit of money and i think it probably would be because for its age is in good condidtion just a few marks here and there.
Thanks for the answers

I’ve been building, repairing and restoring boards since the 1960s. Scott’s recommendation is the best if you just want a board that has the design you want on it. Board sanding takes practice to learn, otherwise you just sand through and ruin your board. If you want to restore the surface of what you have, you need to have someone who knows what they are doing re-sand and gloss it for you.

If the original art is in the gloss coat, it just needs sanding to remove. If it’s on the foam, you can’t get it off. Also, stripping the fiberglass usually wrecks the foam underneath, so forget that.

One last item. Since you mentioned the artwork is out of date and the foam is yellow, maybe your board is an antique worth way more then a new board. Something you might want to check into before you try to change anything.
