What do you need to install your grip?

Below we summarize the simple installation in 3 steps.

The steps to follow for installing the grip on the surfboard

Step 1: distribution of traction pads

Before you peel off the pieces, place them on your board to visualize the layout pattern. Taking a photo with your phone will give you a visual reference when sticking them on. Clean the surface of your board properly to remove any residue, dust, or oil. Make sure to rinse well and let dry completely before proceeding.

Step 2: First pad

Start assembling the mosaic with the first hexagon. Use the top cap of the central keel and the stringer as a reference to correctly position this first piece. Remember not to touch the adhesive part with your fingers to avoid reducing the adhesion.

Step 3: Glue the rest of the pads

Following the guide included in your pack Flysurf hexagonal pads, continue placing the remaining hexagons along your board. This process is ideal for both softboard and fiberglass models. Carefully position each sticker, ensuring even coverage.

Partially peel the liner away from the adhesive and press firmly onto the board. Slowly remove the rest of the liner while applying even pressure across the surface, especially around the edges. Use a spatula or roller to maximize adhesion.
