I have a 10' 8" Jimmy Lewis SUP and have had a few dramas with the deck grip. The grip has come away at the sides and no-one wants to take responsibility for it. I was advised to glue it down with Araldite which I have, and it seems to be working, but I still think for an expensive piece of equipment I shouldnt have to be doing home maintenance on it. Has anyone else had similar problems?

By the way, I love the board. I have had it for 4 months (brand new) and have not touched my longboard since...

Hi Mosco,

I have had a few issues with deck grip,may I ask you a few questions?

1) did you put the grip on?

2) did the glue come away from the deck or did it come away from the foam /grip.

3) how long was the grip on the deck before you first used it?

4) has the grip been exposed to serious amounts of heat?

Best regards

Phill

Have a poke around here in the forum and you'll see there's been plenty of issues with deck grip coming up.

AA (posts here and is the OZ distributor/importer of Paddle Surf Hawaii boards-and a good bloke) sells some really good sheets of grip in a bunch of colours that seem to stick exceptionally well.

It works so what's the problem?

These issues are common - don't fricken whine to dealers about it - get out there and live your life. When it happens again do what the dealer said - get out your aralite and stick it down again. It works - you said so yourself.

Exactly Dogman,

Selleys Kwik Grip is THE go!

NOT Araldite.

Hi Mosco,

As the distributor is happy to sort it I would deal direct with him via PM sounds like good customer service coming your way!

I agree with Dogman sellies quick grip works fine or any good waterproof contact cement, i definitely would not use araldite.
