i like grip. it has a better feel and doesnt squeak the whole time you ride.

It's all personal opinion, but I got sick of foam... grip tape has alot more hold and you feel closer to the board compared to foam

i like to put grip in the back and foam in the front, that way i can ride with my front foot barefooted and my back foot with a shoe.

rukusrider103, ive found that if you do foam and then cut out holes in the shape of shoes where you feet go for ollies and lipslides and fill them with grip it works good that way you dont get confused on where to put your feet. its kinda like 40's style dance lessons

PIRATE, or you could be original and put straps on your wakeskate.

i perfer foam better because i feel more grip and i like how it is not ashard on landing i like the exta padding and also grip becomes slippery when its wet and iy hurts when yu fall on it
