Doesn’t work spectacularly bad

Spent a morning and evening de-waxing the board and applying the stickers

Took it out in the bay and it was more slippery than a bar of soap. I literally couldn’t sit on the board or turn it without slipping off.

Got out and grabbed a board with proper wax on

This productive literally doesn’t achieve its sole objective of being sticky on the deck of a surf board. I could have gone down to screw fix and bought any selection of random tape and got better traction

Scam product

Came fast in a nice package. But…

Van de Waal’s grip came fast in a very nice package. Well done.
I have tried the grip in my board for several days. In my feet, I thought it was OK. However, if felt is slippery when surfing with a t-shirt. I also felt it a little slippery when sitting on the board with my trunk, but not with the wetsuit.
I have asked my son, daughter and wife to test my board and they also felt the same.
I hope this technology will evolve because it has the power to make our surfing life easier.

Hi Chris sorry to hear that. Probably your confirmation email went to spam or promotions folder, as your order was shipped through UPS. I will resend you the confirmation email.

Van Der Waal surfboard grip

Van Der Waal surfboard grip. I surf in in the USA New England area, I'm an ok surfer, no big cut backs or air, just like to ride the line. I ride a 7'4" Torq fun board. I used my GoPro on the nose of the board to locate where I place my hands and feet for the placement of the grip pads. I've been out twice both 3'-4' waves, water temp 52 degrees air 55 degrees in a 3/2 wet suit, one day with booties and one bare feet and I'm here to say I did not slip once, honestly I thought there is no difference between wax and this grip. It is absolutely amazing!!!
I highly recommend Van Der Waal Surfboard grip.
