Shortboard Pack

Great product, only had enough to do nose on my 9’6” Black Rose, plan to do all of board as have $ , then the other two I ride, always try new things, you may be pleasantly surprised, yes hold close oldies that work too, I’m looking forward to being free of wax and not having to strip three boards every summer to winter, stay in the salt, heals all!!!!🤙🏻

I used it for my pumpfoilboard

This is my fourth surf grip. I bought the first one in 2019 and it is still on my first board. I just bought a fourth board and I'm so happy that I bought these grips again. They are easy to install with the template and it sticks for a long time. They are transparent and you can see the board. They are perfect for surfing, no worries we are well glued to the board during the sessions. No sac on clothes or in the car. I recommend them

I’m honestly stoked by this product. I bought it with low expectations and didn't really think it would work. The first time I took it out, I sat on my board waiting for a set and was already regretting installing it.Then I caught my first wave. The grip was incredible. I felt completely locked onto the board and was genuinely impressed by how well it worked. The material feels durable, and the installation seems very solid.I was so impressed that I ordered a second set. I want to add at least one more strip on the deck and another on the bottom. I couldn't be happier with the purchase.As a bonus, even though I've been living in San Diego, California, for many years, I was born in Olhão, Algarve, so it was great to find out that the company is Portuguese as well!Thank you! 🇵🇹🤙

Completely exceeded my expectations. I love the clean, wax‑free look it gives my board, and the traction is genuinely impressive — grippy without feeling sticky or abrasive. Installation was straightforward, and once it’s on, it stays put even after long sessions in the water.

I wanted to try this new idea of grip and it is a very nice discovery.
The board looks nice and clean, and when you surf the grip is good!
It is a bit slippery paddling out with the wetsuit, but when surfing it holds well.
Let's see how long it will last :)

I was sceptical at first. Need time to adjust let the water soak in first few waves was a different feeling. No looking back now my quiver is all waal decked out. Using booties make you stick like a gecko. Don’t need to think about waxing up no mess grab the board and go 🤙

Very good product looks great and works perfectly

It looks stylish, and I no longer need to apply wax, which saves me time. Also, although it was their first time receiving an order from Japan, they responded very well.

Installed on my new fibre glass body boards. They are great and no messy wax. Need to wear wetsuit or similar but I do that anyway.

Really impressed with the grip these little hexagons give, and it's not rough on the skin. I fitted to a board for winter and it worked fine with wetsuit gloves and boots. I was wondering how well it would work in the spring with bare feet and was so impressed I ordered a second set for a new board. Great grip and the board still looks brand new!

These pads are the best! On every board now and into the future. Ordering another set right now.

I was a little ceptic about ir but ir works great

Quick to arrive and great product. I was unsure at first but now love the feel and grip. Will be ordering for my other boards.

Fast shiping and good item!!

I am so glad to have my surfboard always with a good looking and no need to clean once in a while...

These work great in all conditions. It is shocking how grippy they are considering how thin they are. So nice not to wax my board.

Absolut fantastic! I'm so happy that I can do something for our oceans and planet. The grip is good! I was, like you described, kind of annoyed to change the tax because of the temperature, or it was melting away in summer. I love it! Hope to inspire other surfers to change ☺️

I love the ideia and the way how it looks !Im in love with it. Love the fact that the board stay clean ! But I’m still not sure if the grip will work on every occasion. Still think Wax does a better job and sometimes I even add a little bit to the pads to make it perfect( for me). I would suggest to keep on working on the grip or maybe find something to add on to the pads to give it this extra grip. I am going to carry on using mine and maybe I will get used to it with time.. I recommend everyone to try 🤙🏻

Bought it for my Dads birthday and he loved it works great!!!

bought some a couple years ago, wore them out so I got more. So much better than wax as it does. not melt in your car or in your board bag

Great product to avoid wax! It works perfect with water at 18oC or above and relaxed water. On cold water like 14-15oC with some turbulence it is not sticky and I would like.

Hey guys. Thank you for delivering the package to indonesia. Finally the pads are on my board and i couldn't be more surprised how well they work. It was a good decision to choose your product. One lil thing, maybe 2-4 more pads would be cool having on the board. But nevertheless best decision. Thank you, guys

I love these grips! I put the shortboard pack on a 7ft board that has no tail traction pad, so it might be nice to have a few more of the stickers, but that's my mistake. It's nice to finally be able to see the fun color of my board without a coat of grimy wax on top. I highly recommend Van der Waal!

Great product and I was amazed how grippy it actually is under foot. I used it for the first time yesterday 08/10/22 and I was pleasantly surprised at the impact it actually had on my surfing! Needless to say…. No more wax for me ever again! Life is always evolving so why not move with it!! Thank you 🙏

I almost cant believe how much grip these have, my foot felt glued to the board. And it's not a sandpaper texture like the last brand I tried so shouldn't damage my wetsuit.

Fitted these to my board last week. I'm really impressed, very well made and easy to apply. Fast postage to the UK. No more wax for me, thanks Dai 🤙🏽

Pricing was equivalent to a tail or deck pad..so there was no real queries. Delivery was on time and transit updated accordingly which made ordering from OS reassuring. Application to my board was again very simple using the template spacer. Now, I was super keen to get out in the water but let the hex pads sit for a day. I left a wet towel on the deck overnight to see if the newly applied hex pads would swell…in the morning I was a little underwhelmed that they hadn’t. Walking down to the water I was not feeling it…they weren’t slippery….they weren’t grippy…after a 2 hr session… caught as many waves as normal. Won’t say I’m a convert just yet…but certainly intrigued to see if they get better. 🤙🏻
