Is it easy to take the foam off your deck, or does it rip off in a million pieces. thanks

depends on the board, usually you can get a can of Zep adhesive remover, and that will do the trick on th elittle chunks left, it's also not bad to squirt it under the edges of the foam and let it sit for 15 minute before you start

Gasoline works really well. I tore the foam off mine and gripped it today, i used Iron Horse grip for it, turned out ok, i'm not good at cuttin though, but it looks pretty good and i can tell it's gonna be better than foam, i'll post pics tommorow.

ok finally got pics uploaded and here they are...

I cut the edges horribly, i guess it takes time and experience to get it down. But im pleased with it and I like the Iron Horse grip tape a lot, can't wait to get it on the water.

Liquid*Force*Rider, well i took it on the tramp and it was a lot nicer than foam, but i guess i'll really know when i'm on the water, but i noticed i could move my feet a lot better and flick it easier, i kept hittin shuv's like crazy hopefully i can take that over to the water and progress this season.

I am thinking about putting grip tape on my k39, what would be the best grip tape to use? I know my local skate shop has Black Magic grip tape, has anyone used this?

colefooter, I griped my k39.... just use any grip tape from a skate shop...

now learn from my mistake... GET RID OF ALL THE LEFT OVER CRAP BEFORE YOU PUT THE GRIP ON

Ocean Rider, alright thanks, ill make sure i get all the foam junk off first Laughing

Do you like the board more with the grip tape rather than the foam?

I have ridden both and I think Grip has alot more traction, but it hurts alot.
Foam has less traction and but it doesn't hurt at all.

My 2 cents Smile
