Has anyone found a reasonably priced alternative to the low quality overpriced deck grip being hocked online $50-$100. I tried some stuff from Bunnings once. It was grippy until you got it wet then it was more slippery than a board with no wax.

Yes I did a search and I dare not go to the SUP forum...

I found a cheap sup deck grip. It was enough to do 2 maybe 3 boards for $50 nzd

Clark Rubber sell some double diamond grip, it has the 3M logo on it & seems to be good quality.
Last time I looked it was $30/m.

I'm going to try nowacs on my next board.

pun intended? I just worked out what nowacs means. My only concern - too thin want to use padding to help absorb landing shock as I cracked my deck doing this.

LeighMajor love the quiver. Used a Vanguard last year, got me a Vader this year, maybe a Nano next. How much fun are they to punt.

That's not the whole quiver arhhh!!!.Being 98kgs it all depends on floatation (volume )wind strength and waves.Lighter wind bigger Board.Have an older 5'11"Vanguard 35.7ltrs nearly a paddle in for my size.The Vanguard Vader and Evo have different feels but just grab one for windy days they are all awesome.Evo and Vader being the lightest and a bit livelier.Use mainly Quads for upwind.
Venda,awesome smook
Piros great deck grip job on your foilboard

Sorry about photo rotation from IPhone has a mind of its own:(

Rainy rainy day up here, so I ripped off some old yellow grip on my Vanguard and put some Nowacs on it. Will report back when I have tested it, and I do switch so thats why I need the grip, and plan to ride this board strapless this summer too.

I've had about 4 sessions kiting using Nowacs & about a dozen paddle surfing on my 5'3Evo.
It doesn't feel quite as grippy as a front deckpad but I have not even come close to slipping off yet, I think it's a great alternative to wax.
But for kiting only, imo deck grip is the go.

Paint on some resin and pour on castor sugar and let cure then wash off excess.

5mm thick EVA 120 foam from Metro Foam Sydney. You can make cross hatch pattern with trimmer or grinder with depth gauge. I use Sikkaflex to stick it on. A spray on adhesive might be lighter.
