Why longboard griptape at all?
Griptape is the rough coating that you stick onto your longboard deck. It ensures a good grip on the board and provides support, especially when:
- 1. You want to perform various tricks with your longboard.
- 2. You are a downhiller and are traveling at very high speeds.
The differences in griptape
There are different types of griptape that differ from each other in more than just their appearance. The most important choice you need to make is the grit. The following applies:
- Coarse grit = maximum grip
- Finer grit = less grip
Griptape for longboards also comes in many different shapes. There are large tapes that you stick to the entire deck, but there are also small squares that can be applied to the area where your supporting leg is located, for example.
If you opt for a flat griptape, you can order it by the meter. Once you have stuck it on, all you have to do is carefully cut off the protruding edges with a sharp knife. This takes a little patience and care - once you've done it, the grip on your longboard will increase many times over.
Last but not least, you also have a choice of different colors and designs. In this way, griptapes ensure that you can also visually enhance and design your longboard. Griptapes are therefore a great way to give your board a very personal touch.
As you can see, griptape kills two birds with one stone: it ensures a secure footing and also pimps up the look of your longboard. Just browse through the range and see which version you like best.
