VANCOUVER ISLAND WINDTALK

I've got a Fanatic Freewave 86L and I noticed this weekend at Nitnat that the area between the foot straps is a bit slippery. Any one have a good method to easily add some grip?

BigD. I have some acrylic non-skid “powder” from Resin Research. It is a new product that was given to me to test. It is fantastic. Sand your board, spread a little resin and a sprinkle of the non-skid and you will no longer slip. I am away next week, but I will be back in Victoria the week after and I will pass on some if you want it. Let me know. PS As long as you keep your damn dragon under control.

i tried out a can of monster traction spray, 22$ at Island Longboards. it worked ok on my sup board and skate deck but on the WS board i found it not quite gritty enough.

too gritty and you will be bleeding. That happened to me more than once on windsurfers.

This Resin Research ground acrylic is fantastic. I used an acrylic nonskid from Fiberglass Hawaii and my toes got eaten. The Resin Research acrylic has much smaller particles and is not as abrasive as the FH stuff. Also a very light post cure sanding helps as well.

sugar and resin works well too if your looking for something a little sweeter!

Thanks everyone for the info. Kayakdoc, I live in Tsawwassen, hope to make it back to Nitnat near the end of Aug, maybe we can meet up then.

Cheers,
Dallas

You can also get spray on grip from West marine

buy a new board D Dood DING! Rock, no... paper.....ah shucks go for scissors

New board, that's a whole 'nother thread! I think I'm gonna learn duck jibes before I get a new board since I'm likely to take the nose off...

BigD, Send me your contact information if you like. I may be passing through Tsawwassen and could drop some off. Reluctant to send unidentifiable white powder in the mail.
