Very nice does it come in one large sheet or separate bits

I'm going to order some so I'll let know.

Pricey!

Does it pick up dirt?

Is it clear??... I liked the feel of my waxed board on a wave but not paddling around n ended up putting a deck pad on... This stuff looks interesting

I think it would look pretty cool on the boards with wood grain exposed in the front third. I've got one of those and nearly went arse over tit on it several times last weekend. Can't bring myself to cover the wood with wax.

I've just end added this grip to the front nose of a new board, gunna test it out this week

Will hopefully have it available through the website very soon depending on the IT guys workload......google RSPRO Australia.

I'm just a tad concerned how it is on the knees…I tried to kneel on a starboard board once and the deck with no grip was very bad.

I've heard that it's not like monster paint or star touch and has a softer rubbery feel.. I'll find out soon because I've ordered some..

that is a very bad habbit

If you want something soft and spongy under your feet then an EVA foam deck pad is for you.
Hexatraction is thin and firm under foot.....similar to wax.
I've used wax on all my surf SUPs for the last few years but will definately be putting Hexatraction on them all when it arrives.
I've had it on my 10' x 26" for a while now and surfed it heaps.
Never slipped once and it's been thrown through more than a few critical turns that have tested it's limits ;-)

Kaylan had her fulldeck pad blown off her board while we were surfing pretty chunky Hanalei Bay ,for some weird reason it totally floated sideways as she tried to catch a wave in..we found the small Sup pads from Surfco Hawaii in a local surfshop and after doing the best to prep a board, while on the road we put the yellow pads down. ,kay reckons there grippy and very comftable wearing booties on the reefs in indo were no problems,after emailing the boss David .he has sent some new stye grip for Kaylan to try on her next board,bugger there in Australia mail world and Mr Garrett has the new board ready to go ,we learnt that with any small pads.. close them together as toes and heels will always play on a edge.

Hexa Traction is now available in Australia from the Aussie RSPro website and shipping is free within our wide brown land.
Selected retailers will have it in stock soon.

I recently purchased two boxes to apply to my 8'2", I ripped off the existing deck grip and began the transformation. I was a little sceptical as these Pieces of grip are fairly thin and didn't seem at all that grippy with a dry hand. application is easy even for a rough she'll be right kinda bloke like me (although I did manage to stray a little) I wasn't surfing for a few days so it was ample time for the drying process, as application is with wet board and hex pieces. The day of reckoning came and I tentively hit the water in somewhat tiny conditions, to my relief it felt grippy and great, I could now feel the board as I remember back with the wax days except without the mess. I don't know if it is my imagination but even paddling through waves seemed easier, pretty sure I was just stoked I'd made a good decision. time will tell how long it lasts but for now I'm happy ??

I purchased the other day and applied to to the nose of my board but unfortunately I haven't had it in the water yet.

First impressions are it's not that soft (imagine rail tape with a rough surface), so will be fine for the nose but not sure about replacing the whole deck pad.

I'll give an update as soon as I get it in the water.
