Frequently asked questions about skateboard grip tape and grip

How do you keep skateboard grip tape and grip in good condition?

Grip tape and grip require regular maintenance to preserve their gripping ability. In practice, what really makes the difference is removing dust, sand and dirt before they become embedded. A stiff-bristle brush slightly moistened is usually enough for basic cleaning.

One thing to bear in mind when cleaning grip tape: use very little water. The key criterion is simple: clean the surface without soaking the wood or affecting the adhesive. Afterwards, just remove any moisture with a dry cloth and let the board dry completely in a ventilated place.

How can you customize your skateboard grip tape and grip?

Customizing your board’s grip allows you to add a useful visual reference and a more personal finish. What sets one grip tape apart from another in these conditions is its ability to maintain grip even after applying color. To do this, permanent markers or acrylic spray paint applied in thin coats are usually used.

If there’s only one point to keep in mind, it’s this: you shouldn’t saturate the grip tape with paint. In practice, a light application preserves the abrasive texture better and prevents loss of traction during quick weight shifts, turns or pumping on a surfskate.

Where can you buy skateboard grip tape and grip online?

At Mundo-Surf you can find skateboard grip tape, surfskate grip tape, grip and tape in different formats. The main criterion when choosing is usually the real use of the board: street, bowl, cruiser or surfskate. More aggressive grip tape provides more hold; a more balanced one is more comfortable for long sessions or for riders who often rest and reposition their feet.

One thing to bear in mind when renewing the grip: the width of the grip tape must properly cover the deck, and the level of abrasion must match the type of footing you are aiming for. On surfskate boards, it is common to prioritize control when pumping and turning, with a firm grip but without excessive roughness. That is the useful reference for guiding your choice.
