Surf Grip Frequently Asked Questions

What is grip surfing for?

The surf grips are placed on the back of the surfboard and serve to increase the level of grip without having to resort to the use of wax or paraffin . Besides, they are another decorative element due to the endless number of designs that we currently find.

How to place a surf grip?

The surf grip is very easy to put on. This accessory includes an adhesive part that facilitates the process. We will start by cleaning and drying the back of the surfboard . Then we remove the adhesive and we are placing the grip part by part. We will press it well to avoid air balls and we will let it dry for about 24 hours before using our board. Ready for a better grip!

Do you recommend me to use grip on my surfboard?

Yes. The surf grip is an important part of the board to provide a good grip on your back foot.

It is also highly recommended if you are starting to surf, to have a good reference of where you should put your back foot and get used to the foot and body.

But for example, for a softboard surfboard it is not necessary because it cannot be glued.

What surf grip do you recommend?

We will recommend your surf grip according to:

  • Number of pieces: They are usually used in several pieces, in order to adapt your grip perfectly to the width of the tail of your board. But depending on what type of surfboard can be used in one piece, it also depends a lot on the taste of each rider.
  • Arch bar and kick tail: It is something that is not given enough attention and it is important. For example, the arch bar should be higher for people with a long foot arch.

And the Kick tail will be the dimension of the rear block where we will support the foot to make a more radical turn and that it does not escape us.
