Yes. The surf grip is an important part of the board to provide a good grip on your back foot.

What surf grip do you recommend?

We will recommend your surf grip according to:

  • Number of pieces: They are usually used in several pieces, in order to adapt your grip perfectly to the width of the tail of your board. But depending on what type of surfboard can be used in one piece, it also depends a lot on the taste of each rider.
  • Arch bar and kick tail: It is something that is not given enough attention and it is important. For example, the arch bar should be higher for people with a long foot arch.

And the Kick tail will be the dimension of the rear block where we will support the foot to make a more radical turn and that it does not escape us.
