Good morning fellow kitesurfers!!!!!!!!
Could anyone of you direct me to a kite board shaper possibly south of the river??? I live in Freo so I would prefer someone close by if possible but not vital.

Thank you everybody and I wish you a good kite Christmas! !!!

Looking for advice on a board for Perth conditions?general kite surfboard,good carving,good in chop,strapped,and not bad in lightwind?I'm 86kg and just starting out on a directional,been kiting 4 years twinny.
Any advice on sizes,makes,etc would be much appreciated.cheers

I have a new strapless kite board and didn't want to cover the bamboo with standard deck grip or have to continually wax so I bought some “Versa traction clear grip tape”.

I bought the short board pack ($53).



The larger pieces gave me enough to do the strapless board which left me the two small pieces which I added to my strapped board between the pads.



So far I'd say the grip is about as good as wax and better than the cheaper deck grip. Probably not as good as the top end deck grip and obviously doesn't give that few mm of cushioning that deck grip can offer. Overall I am very happy with it.





On my strapped board these small bits work perfectly to add grip to an area where you don't predominantly place your feet.
