Hey locos,
Thanks for the starboard link. What an eye opener!
They are basically saying that Greenroom's lovely new board doesn't actually need a deckgrip as the finish they put over the timber, called Startouch, is actually grippy (without being abrasive)?

Yeah thats right JB Mel, no deck grip needed. Ive surfed it twice in small waves already and had no dramas with slipping or even it being rough. Its not a sugar coat like on windsurf boards or not even like fine grit sand paper. It feels like a fabric.
To me if I put some deck grip on it I might be able to relax a bit more when using it in bigger surf

What about clear deck grip? Some one posted a board that had it up the nose a while back I'll see if I have the link.

Edit - www.versatraction.com/product.aspx

I dont think they have clear deck grip?


It's as clear a gripp as you can get

The deck grip on the tac looks similar to what I was doing on skim boards in Vancouver. Works well but I could see wanting some extra grip in a bigger swell.

I used my Starby with the Startouch grip in last weeks Gold Coast swell (probably oh+1/2) with no problems at all. The only downside I can see to it at the moment is it might wear smooth over time. If anything I would only put a tail pad on it.
