I should try the peel ply...cheapest by far! Easy enough to renew.

Hexatraction was not good enough for me barefoot on a surfboard. I kept slipping off. My friend who owns the board rides it with booties, and that works for him.
Wax Mat sounds pretty interesting!

A foilboard needs very little grip or dampening compared to a planing/plowing board as you are always perpendicular to the forces.
Peel ply is still almost as new on my raceboard after 8 months heavy use.

Hmmm, yes, in shops big deck pads are expensive, agree.
But on the net they cost almost nothing...

Or here

Or

From 20 usd to 60 usd + shipping for some, that is extremely low cost, right?
