Deck grips for shortboards have become an essential add-on for surfers that are making radical manouevres on the waves. Most deck grips used by surfers are in the form of a shaped & grooved foot pad that sticks on the tail end of the surfboard. The tailpad negates the need to use conventional surfboard wax on that part of the board. As the deck grip gives the wave rider additional grip on the surfboard he is able to throw the surfboard around whilst remaining in control The black & white Occy Flat Line Billabong tailpad is a deck grip with diamond cut routed shapes to give the surfer further traction on the board, whilst still allowing water to run off. This Billabong deck grip has a low arch height & swallow kick style. The Occy Flat Line deck grip also has a black & white design.
