RSPro Cork HexaTraction Board Grip Surf 15 pieces
Super thin, 1 mm thick, sustainable Cork Pad System from RS Pro.water repellent and gentle to the skin. Due to the hexagon shape of the elements, you can stick the individual pads, unlike the Front Deck Grip, variable or combine with other Hexa Pads. Sticks on every ArtBoard.
HexaTraction comes in individual hexagons that are glued to the surfboard. It looks like clear skateboard grip tape, but it's not as rough and rugged. Logos and board graphics remain visible with it.

- Super thin for a better board feel.
- Sustainable and energy efficient material.
- Extremely lightweight and non-aggressive to your skin.
- No melting, no hassle, no residue, no mess.
- Easy to install modular
- Shape matching with HexaTraction to complete a completely wax-free board.
- Works on all types of boards (epoxy, PU, wood and foam).
- Cork honeycomb cells with excellent shock absorption and thermal protection properties.
- Designed and manufactured in Barcelona.
- Do not install it in a cold environment. We recommend installing it at room temperature. Below 20ºC (68F) the material and adhesive tend to become stiff, making installation difficult.
- Clean the area thoroughly with alcohol or similar. Make sure there is no wax residue. Avoid industrial cleaners.
- Before you begin, lay out the HexaTraction hexagons and choose the best pattern to cover the area where you need grip and traction.
- PRO-TIP: Peel off exactly half of the adhesive layer on the first HexaTraction hexagon to make it super easy to line up with the centerline of the panel.
- Pour lots of water. Plenty!!! It will help to not have air bubbles.
- Stick half of the hexagon on and make sure all the air and water is squeezed out by rubbing with your fingers and/or a cloth. Remove the other half of the pad and squeeze out all the air and water.
- PRO TIP: Press from the center to the edges or from side to side to get all the air and water out.
- Using the white HexaTraction star as a template, go through the deck one hexagon at a time.
- PRO TIP: Align the hexagon with the side where the adhesive surface is attached.
- Complete the layout using the half hexagons if needed.
- You are done. Check all the hexagons and make sure all the water is out. Let it dry (not in the sun) and let it cure for a few hours before going in the water.
