: Hi, I am building a timber Stand Up Paddle board. It will need an
: Eva deck pad but the commercially available products are
: expensive and I would rather design my own.
: I can get a large 3mm yoga mat for half the price and greater range
: of colours.

: Does anybody know what the EVA density for a yoga mat is and the
: EVA density for a marine traction pad is?

: Cheers
Craig,
I had the same thought and purchased a yoga mat and just put it on the board for a test run. It seems to not be closed cell material and retains water which may be a problem over time. I found some clear spray on traction that allows me to still see the wood.
