Griptape

Choosing a good griptape

Preferences vary when it comes to choosing the perfect griptape. Some prefer only black griptape on their decks, others prefer colored or patterned ones. Griptapes also vary in their grain. 

Some are rough and provide a lot of grip between the board and the shoes. On the one hand, they hold their grip longer than smooth grip tape, but on the other hand, they cause more wear and tear on the shoes.

Medium-rough griptapes are an alternative and compromise between smooth and rough griptapes.
