Have a new Kialoa insanity,and really like it.My question is the highly polished handle I find pretty slippery.The old Makani handle was no gloss and no probs .Should i sand it to no gloss,tape it ,wax it .Any none too drastic solutions?

I was grinding into a strong headwind today and I was glad to have my Insanity because of the softness on the joints without the shaft being too bendy..

I've always loved to gloss finish on the Kialoa shafts.. untill it gets wet.. Then it can get pretty slippy..

I would try wax first.. Then if still not happy give it a light sand with one of those soft sanding blocks that you can get a Bunnings..

That should do the trick..

WAX

Wax It Waxer !!

Wax works well,but it is ripping the hairs out of the palms of my hands

Monster Paint is the go.

I got a can of monster paint from the Jervis Bay sup guys when they were at Merimbula last year. Try them.
