Bear with me a second.
At the risk of sounding a bit lazy ( I'm not), I have a new SIC RS 14footer and the desk pad is not grippy enough to allow me to move back confidently. Of all my boards this is the least grippy. Makes bouy turns on what is otherwise, THE most stable board I own, tricky. Tried my wet toe shoes but they are way too grippy.
I bought some more deck pad that I know is a nice grip level but before I strip the brand new deck off, Does anyone know if 3M decking will reliably stick on top of the existing " crocodile skin" ( I'm an ex NQ'er and that would be the smoothest croc skin I have ever seen), so I don't have to remove it?
The existing pad is VERY thin, which may be part of the problem ( less deflection to grip with). But that means that the new thicker stuff won't raise me too high to lose stability.
Anyone done this successfully?
