Longboard Surf Grip Pack

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 🙂.

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

I applied these to a Catch Surf brand foam board and the adhesive is holding up. As a relatively new surfee, Ive never used wax so i cant make a comparison, but i feel that these keep me on the board alittle better. I would have preferred that the placement tool be plastic, as the paper is flexible and requires alot more concentration to make sure it remains aligned; not a big deal, i just dont see why not even if it had to cost a dollar more. Shipping to the united states from this company was under two weeks.

This is for v3 of the stickers, the latest incarnation. TLDR; Unless you really have a problem with wax, stick with it. I kept mine on because I am not as good of a surfer so I am ok with the tradeoff THE GOOD: - it mostly works - it does not ruin the wetsuit - it does make your board look good - they give half stickers if you ask for them (you should) THE BAD - it’s expensive - traction is not as good as wax, not even after a couple of sessions. The worst part is not actually slipping (that happened to me only at the beginning) but stay in position on the board, I can say I missed a bunch of waves due to that - with a longboard package I couldn’t even cover my 8’6 to the nose, so prepare to get something like 120 stickers for a 9' THE UGLY - the application process will trigger any of your OCD; however good you try to place them down they won’t be perfectly symmetrical; trust the process to the end and make adjustments on a per need basis - I had blisters on my hands after applying the stickers, so be warned - two (2) sessions in and one of the half stickers was peeling off at a corner, surprisingly is still there so might be just a problem of that sticker - stickers do not attach well on sun cure like ding repair resin THE UNEXPECTED Once I removed the wax from the board I noticed a bunch of micro cracks in the glass (caused by pressure maybe?). Either way, the stickers effectively work as reinforcement so it gives me some piece of mind

I love the traction. I come to realize that some of the modern waxes out there actually have too much grip and can result in making it difficult to move your feet on the board or making it catchy when popping up. This traction gives me nice hold without catchiness.
