RSPRO vs Rail Saver Pro (Puka Patch)
Hi Australian SUP Community —
Seabreeze always has some interesting SUP stories I like to keep up to speed on. I came across similar topics & just wanted to clarify on some confusion that seems to be going on in the Australian marketplace. I founded both Puka Patch & Rail Saver Pro, a Puka Patch product.
Despite what some might hear, Puka Patch is Rail Saver Pro & is why we have kept the name whilst the other like-branded name has since been changed to RS Pro…
I hope this helps with the confusion & integrity of the original Rail Saver Pro, a product that has been widely accepted through the Australian marketplace, launched many years ago by my Australian distributor Watershack Pty Ltd.
On the subject of Jimmy Lewis - Jimmy has been a supporter of our product since the beginning & still supports the Puka Patch Rail Saver Pro exclusively to this day.
The pictures posted in these forums stating Jimmy apparently switching to RSPro were from one of Jimmy’s international distributors without the support of Jimmy himself.
There’s a saying in the innovation world that the greatest form of flattery is when someone copies you, so I guess for many years now we’ve been doing something right by providing a quality product that continues to evolve. Confusing a market by copying your name to build another product is not flattery & definitely not innovative.
If you have further questions, please do not hesitate to contact my Australian distributor : rob@watershack.com.au
Thanks, Jon Mosher - Puka Patch & Rail Saver Pro

Railsaver Pro tough but hard to apply
Just applied RSPro clear to my new JL Striker 9'5, wished I had not. I followed the Vimeo instruction on Railsaver Website, being an X board maker I thought it would be easy, wrong! It was difficult to get the tape to bend to the contour of the rail, even after following the instruction I finished up with unwanted bubbles which I had to pin prick and squeegee out, some left a mark. Worse still I peeled back the tape to realign as per instruction and the tape took out a small piece of the rail, board looks poxy, so much for my new Jimmy Lewis Striker. I will never be able to match the yellow colour for repair. Any had this problem?
