i am very partial to the Straight Line Ameoba grip. it is thick and very soft. the other striaght line grips are thinner and firmer, but i love the ameoba.

otherwise i love the new Proline grips like the essential and sythensis

thanks. the reason i ask is we dont have any like really nice shops around here to go and see the gear myself. so i ask the opinion of people who actually ride with the shizzle since i always have to buy online. thanks for the input tho

Oasis does, or at least did.

If The Bug doesn't post on this thread, try PMing him.

they do on oasis. And RollinTrees, sports ltd usually has the bigger name brands and so does boardmart.

This Helium handle is the best I've ever used. It's not the softest thing in the world, but the grip is amazing and it won't blister your hands or plams at all. Also very durable.

Sorry if its common knowledge but what is that mini handle for?

Macthc, Usually for wrapped tricks, and wakeboarders. I always take them out.

Macthc, wrapped tricks. Like... if u want to do a ts i/o back 180, its alot easier to grab that little guy with your front hand, and toss the big one behind your back and grab it with your switch (back hand) then jump and u dont have to do the handle pass at all. Sorry if that sounds confusing, its kinda hard to explain without a visual.
