Introducing the Surf Grip Quiz: Find the Right Grip for How You Surf

Choosing the right surf grip shouldn’t feel like guesswork.

Every surfer moves differently on their board. Stance, wave type, board shape, foot placement — it all matters. Yet most grip solutions are still one-size-fits-all.

That’s exactly why we built the Van der Waal Surf Grip Quiz.

Why surf style matters more than you think

Two surfers can ride the same board and need completely different grip setups.

Some surfers surf tight and centered. Others move constantly. Some generate speed off the back foot, others rely on subtle weight shifts. The way you surf changes where you need traction — and how much of it.

Our modular hex grip system adapts to all of that.
But only if it’s configured correctly.

What the quiz does

In under a minute, the quiz asks a few simple questions about:

• Your board type

• Your surf style and stance

• How and where you surf

Based on your answers, we recommend the surf grip pack that fits your style, not just your board.

No technical jargon. No overthinking. Just a smart starting point.

Why we built it

We noticed something after talking to hundreds of surfers:

Most people don’t need more grip.
They need the right grip in the right places.

The quiz exists to:

• Remove uncertainty before buying

• Help first-time users get it right from day one

• Make the transition from wax to modular grip easier

It’s not about selling more. It’s about setting your board up properly.

What happens after the quiz

Once you’re done, you’ll see:

• Your recommended Van der Waal grip pack

• A setup that matches how you surf

• A modular system you can fine-tune over time

And because it’s modular, you’re never locked in. You can always adjust, add, or evolve your setup as your surfing does.
