Patting a friend (or victim who desperately wants you to like him/her) on the back with a concealed board rubber. The resulting chalk stripe is nigh on irremovable. The dust cloud evokes memories of Saving Private Ryan.

Conrad G

Making sure the board rubber was fully loaded, run up to someone, and start battering the baord rubber with your hand, or batter still, a second, fully loaded, board rubber, producing a cloud of chalk dust which would envelop the unfortunate victim. Skill (http://www.playgroundlaw.com/cgi-bin/browse.pl?sid=646) was required not to suffer blowback.

If blowback does occur, however, take advantage of the situation and have a cartoon fight, in which spectators will only see the occasional arm or leg coming out of the dust cloud as you shout “Ooyah!” and “Take that!”
