ah!! its useless now, get a new one and send me the old one.. I don't do jumps so I will be fine .

Or you can keep doing splits and now you have a party trick.

Rough it up with sandpaper

Wouldn't sand paper stuff up the grip or would you just do it lightly? I'll give wax a go and see if it works.

We've sanded grip for years. I've sen the guys that make the stuff use everything from sandpaper to fine wire brushes. I just sand light lines 90 degrees to your feet with 80 grit. Not sure of the quality on your board traction (There is a cheap molded more lightweight foam), but just try a small section by hand first. just be careful you don't tear the edges. I've heard of pro surfers waxing grip and their feet. The short term of this is ok, but old wax is slippery as. Let us know how it lasts long term on grip.

I like to use a tail pad as a front pad (reversed of course!), so the kicker stops my foot sliding forward.
