I’ve been using versa traction for the last 7-8 years. I’ve had it on all my boards. From longboards to my mid length and short boards. Haven’t gone back to wax since I tried it. There are a couple of things to consider. I have found it a bit slippery under my chest when wearing a wetsuit but have sorted that by putting a few dots of black silo on on the witty. Sounds strange but it works well. The only other issue I’ve had is riding a longboard with booties and the versa traction. Wow. Too much grip for me.I’m a fan and just about to place another order for a new board.Steve
Great news - great tips. See you out there
Hi Mark,
just to let you know that I got your sample of the Versa Traction ok on 18 May 22 and tried it out today 19 May 22, many thanks.
This info maybe useful for others, but of course they will need to make their own decision.
It seems fine with both the bootie and wetsuit (all Need Essentials brand).
Accordingly, I've just placed a new order with you for the 8'6" longboard, 8-piece kit, as we initially discussed by phone for my new 9'3" Tuflite Takayama In the Pink. I'm placing a normal tailpad on this board also.
God Bless,
Geoff Keogh
That's great mate - it will be sent today.
g'day, Mark..
I received an email early this morning, in relation to my second order of Versatraction. I'm just checking with you, as it seems odd that you've
I received my first order without any extra request from you (and the Versatraction is great, by the way!)
Please let me know, as it seems like an unnecessary request.
cheers
Gary
GLAD YOU LIKE IT GARY, YES STICK IT ONTO ALL YOUR BOARDS AND NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT WAX AGAIN.
I received my new board Friday so finally got to try the VersaTraction.
It was a little daunting / time consuming putting on (needed trimming) and disconcerting that it's not grippy when dry but wow it worked a treat in the surf. I found it a little slippery under my chest when paddling (wearing a wetsuit, I am sure I will get used it) but underfoot (barefoot) I didn’t even think about the grip, absolutely no slipping when riding and easy to adjust feet. Pop up and grip, just like with wax. Its magic and I am a convert.
So nice not to have to worry about waxing. And a clean board bag with an easy to remove the board.
Thanks Nic
