yo i 2nd that i put some jessup on my flat deck and it works just fine, you just have to watch out for one thing... i donno if this happens to everyone but i had to sand it down alot on the edges because it started to peel for me. but i guess if you have a concave skate that doesn't matter _________________ having a high post count doesn't make you a good wakeskater |

Yeah, and it sucks. It slipped off 5 minutes into riding it new. Got replacment 3M tape, and that sucked too. Jessups is the only way to go IMO.
3 sheets of skateboard size, or newwakeskates.com and devotid sell full size sheets _________________

any one ever try that mob perforated grip, does that work or does water just get under it and make it fall off? _________________ Team Dream Sleds
