In picture of Naish boards, I can't really see a deck pad on it... Is there any grip or deck pad on it? If I were to take my dog on one how would he grip onto it? Or is there a deck pad on it?

Thanks

Which board? The Hokua's and Mana's come with a deck grip - covering about 2/3rds of the board. Not sure about the bigger ones.

All Naish boards come with a factory fitted deck grip (3/4) and the big 10'5" Mana has a full length deck grip.

The best idea that I've seen for the nose area for kids and dogs to grip is using a sucker type bath mat and put it on and take it off as you need it.

I've bought one to try but not got around to using it yet.. They're pretty cheap to buy and I've heard that they work great.

I've only ridden a hand full of boards, but the grip on my 2011 10'0 naish mana is awesome, none of the other grips i have ridden on even come close to the grip on my board. If you lay down and paddle I can guarantee sore nipples though, moral to the story, stand up.

Love the bath mat idea, my dog chased a Pelican and ski ramped off the nose...it was hillarious!!!

Yes all the Glides have a white deck grip on a white deck so it's a bit hard to see in the pics.. but if you look real close (or put your glasses on) you will see it..

See it at the bottom of this pic?
