Surf100 2018 - Van der Waal Traction Review

As seen on

Some friends, customers and press were kind enough to send us their feedback and reviews about Van der Waal surf grips.

Van der Waal Reviews & Mentions

“bonus points now that you can also confidently leave your board in the car without coming back to a runny pool of wax in the footwell of your passenger seat.”

The Inertia

“now to the most important question – does the grip work? Yes, it does. (…) when it gets wet the grip improves and when I stood up and rode a few waves I could not feel any difference in grip between van der waal stickers and regular wax”

360Guide

“the folks at van der waal like to keep things simple and I’ll do you the same courtesy, their design and their concept works”

SurfBunker

“it’ll be interesting to see how the grip lasts over time, but if it continues to perform well, then van der waal may have cracked the market for those looking for an alternative to waxing up.”

Surfing Sections

Why wax when Van Der WAAL Surf Grips will do the job just as well with no downsides says our multi-task test guru Steve Leeder who has been checking out this great innovation, and some cool GoPro mounts, over summer.

SnowAction

"The second instalment of Van Der Waal is here. It’s called the Performance Series 2.0 and it’s better than winning the prize hen at an auction. That’s right, this stuff is the absolute business."

Work Great!!

These work great in all conditions. It is shocking how grippy they are considering how thin they are. So nice not to wax my board.

Absolut fantastic! I'm so happy that I can do something for our oceans and planet. The grip is good! I was, like you described, kind of annoyed to change the tax because of the temperature, or it was melting away in summer. I love it! Hope to inspire other surfers to change ☺️

The grip is fine once they have activated by exposure to water, just allow a good 15mins for the first session, and then the first 5mins or so thereafter. Before they activate it’s a little like paddling a bar of soap 🙂.

Using them on a soft board

Works fine on my catch foamie.
I was concerned if the pads stick properly, but after a few sessions it looks good

Convinced

Just ordered another set because the first set of the wax pads works so well.

Better Surf Grip

This is my fourth surf grip. I bought the first one in 2019 and it is still on my first board. I just bought a fourth board and I'm so happy that I bought these grips again. They are easy to install with the template and it sticks for a long time. They are transparent and you can see the board. They are perfect for surfing, no worries we are well glued to the board during the sessions. No sac on clothes or in the car. I recommend them
