Is gripping your wakeskate very hard?

I am thinking about buying a cassette skate (flat deck) but I was just wondering how difficult it is to grip it your self. Is it worth the money you save or should I buy a more expensive one that is already gripped (if cassettes come already gripped at all I don't know) thanks for the help.

nickdakoolkat, it's not very difficult at all. Most boardshops will have a roll of griptape that they use for skateboard decks. You could get them to regrip it or buy two strips (because one usually isn't wide enough for a wakeskate deck) the length of your board.

If you choose to grip the deck yourself Kampus has a helpful video on how to do it.

Good luck!

My 2005 Casssette Flat didn't come pre gripped. You have to grip it yourself.

seandarby, Not the flat decks.

nickdakoolkat, Watch the video from the Kampus website, it shows you just how to do it.
