In Response To: Re: Non skid deck ideas (Mark Kanzler)

DO NOT texture the deck, youwill just cut your feet. when skim boarding you will some time have the board shoot out form under you and this will Really really hurt if instead of slippery wet wax you scrap your back or face on rock hard texture. use wax or rubber nothing else trust me if you texture you son will have an almost imediate bad fall as many do then cut up his face then break the board and just get made at you for building it wrong.

PS i hope your son is really patient because i have been skimming for 2 years and i still fall badly hundreds of times a day the number of falls to good rides is really about 15 or 20 to 1
