Sliding board including on its visible face a decorated composite material and associated method

A method for decorating a sliding board including, on a visible part of the sliding board, a composite material formed of a fibrous layer impregnated with and coated with hardenable resin forming a superficial layer of the composite material, said method comprising the following steps:

• preparing a transfer film comprising a face covered with a pattern constituted of an arrangement of grains of at least one type of ink, said ink comprising colourants and a crosslinked polymer,
• positioning the face of the transfer film covered with the pattern on all or some of the external surface of the composite material,
• applying pressure and temperature conditions that (1) harden or (2) soften then harden the resin so as to incrust at least partially the grains of the pattern in the superficial layer of the composite material while conserving the arrangement of the grains prepared on the transfer film, and
• peeling the transfer film.
