I've been trying all over to get some eva boom grip material to re-grip an RSX boom. Anybody know where I can get some in decent lengths?

flip-flop, sandal manufacturer?

Hydrodynamix in Perth (make booms and sell grip)

If you can't find them send a message to "Paul Kelf" on this site

it's called 'splice' material here and come in various colours and thickness and is the same material used in booms. About $1 aussie dollar for a 1 x 2mtr. spread

SHQ in Vic sell Genuine NP EVA Re-Grip complete with textured areas, integrated logos etc. They look great. I think about $45 from memory.

www.shq.com.au/

Stuart Bell sails in Nedlands have some.

Mark, just to let you know, I have previously checked with these guys and they no longer regrip booms.

Check Surfsail in Leederville WA. I have bought some of them in the past.

Mark at Surf Sail in Leederville is the got to guy on this. He'll give you a good rundown on the steps so it turns out schweet....98% is prep.

My brother lives in Manila - it would be great if I could point him in the right direction to get some for me (and others)

Hi Mark tell your bro to just go to any canvass upholstery shop that supplies materials for of course upholstery and there's rolls upon rolls of it..regards, JP

Just be aware that there are different densities in this material and the soft stuff may not be th best on a boom.

From memory the stuff i got from Surfsail was pre cut to the right size. It's not an easy job to get it on right. Do a search, there is a tutorial somewhere on the web.

I've done a few before, relatively successfully, the main problem here is getting hold of the material to do it with. I got some from Ian at Sails & Windsurfing, but with the amount of time Eamon spends sailing he tends to chew boom grip up fairly quickly.
