Grip

where do people get their grip and how does it come? skate shops sell it in lengths of 9x33 usually. I'd like it as big as possible.

savagegarrick, You can get it from newwakeskates or devotid in full sheets for wakeskates. flict used to sell them but i'm pretty sure they're gone..

some skate shops have huge rolls......you don't get the full width for a wakeskate but u got the length and then some.........i just bought a whole roll this year and it has already saved me like 3 trips back to the shop.

Wow, how often is your grip coming off? Is it cause you skate a shizzle ton or does it just eventually start to come off? Have you ever had just one sheet of grip? have you noticed if so, that a few pieces hold up better than just one large one?

jessup grip will last hella long, my impulse had shiznackle grip on it, came off after a couple of months, but i regripped with jessup and it's still got a lot of life left.
