About Sophie
Sophie is a surfer from Phillip Island, Australia, competing and traveling the world on the WSL world qualifying series. Sophie also works as a qualified level 2 surf coach and is a mental health ambassador between events.
Selected by Lifeline Australia and the Australian Institute of Sport in 2019 to be a Lifeline Community Custodian and ambassador. She is helping raise awareness and reduce the stigma around mental health issues in the community and help provide connection, compassion and hope, which ultimately saves lives. Sophie and the 20 other athletes (Olympians, Paralympians and Commonwealth Games athletes) have joined a movement of 10,000 volunteers and 1000 employees around the nation to help reduce suicide rates in Australia. By telling her own personal stories of resilience and challenges through sporting experiences, she hopes to continue to make a meaningful change in the community.
Beginning as a pastime and hobby, Sophie has always been quite creative and has always designed her surfboards with unique art to keep them authentic and known to her. All hand-drawn and initially designed on with paint pens, she decided to make them available to everyone! All the decals and stickers are Australian made and crafted with passion. We are proud to be a “home-grown” product.
The support is greatly appreciated :)

About Product
All hand-drawn on paper, Sophie then gets her designs made into decal stickers to stick anywhere you fancy.
All locally printed in her local town, Phillip Island, where she grew up and designs the stickers.
The vinyl decal sticker art is printed using high quality, long lasting eco-solvent inks onto clear polymeric vinyl. Supplied with convenient, transparent application tape, for easy positioning and simple installation.
These are made to be tough. Sophie surfs 1-2 times day with these stickers under her feet, constantly taking wax off and re-waxing over the top of the stickers. So don’t worry about ink smudges.
However do take care of your Sophie Fletcher Design art.
Designs are black and clear in between each detail of art. So they look great on any coloured surface other than dark greys/ blues and black.
You can also get quite creative and cut the stickers up for fitting onto different things. For example:
- cut a mandala down the middle and have 2 half mandalas. You might put one on your laptop and the other half on the edge of your car window or bottom edge of drink bottle.
-because there is the transparent application tape on top of the sticker, you can rule and mark out a straight line to cut with a permanent marker (because it won’t be on the actual design)
