      How To Install Your Slyde Kung-Fu Grip

      Epic Wave Riding

      An example of a Slyde Wedge Pro with kung-fu grip installed.

      You found your hand slipping on your deck and you don’t like to use wax . So you purchased the Slyde kung fu-grip. Great choice! An epic grip is coming your way, but first you have to put it on the deck. Never fear, we have your back Here are 8 reasons the grip is so epic:

      1. Eliminates the need for wax
      2. Improved directional control and grip
      3. Absorbs chop shock
      4. Grooved grip top surface
      5. Single layer, 3/16 inch-5mm thick
      6. Beveled edge
      7. Dynamic design features
      8. Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound

      It's easy, just pay attention and don't skip any steps. 1 fun hour with a beer! Another reason to have a beer

      Board Preparation

      Remove strap

      Use a flat head or Philips screwdriver to remove the strap from the deck of the board (you will replace the strap when finished.If you need further help check out our how to remove your adjustable handstrap video Here

      Remove Wax

      Removing all the wax and as much as you can before cleaning with denatured alcohol will make the next step far easier. Use a wax comb like pictured above or something like a credit card

      Clean Deck

      Clean the deck with a rag and de-natured alcohol, or lacquer thinner (it’s stronger, be careful). It’s around $6 in the Home Depot paint department, next to the thinners.

      TOP TIP

      Look into the reflection for any wax you missed. You'll see more clearly

      Kung-fu grip Installation

      placing and align

      carefully place your pad on the deck where you want it and trace your pad with a pencil on your board.

      peel back the paper

      Starting at the top point of the pad,ONLY PEEL ABOUT 3 INCHES OF THE PAPER BACK. DON'T TOUCH THE STICKY ADHESIVE.

      laying down the pad

      It’s just like laying contact paper down on a cupboard shelf. Hold the pad perfectly centered over the board and trace line and place the sticky top edge inside your traced pencil mark. Lightly rest the adhesive (so you can pull back and reset it), then press from the center out to the edges of the pad.

      pull paper out

      If it looks good, reach under the pad, grab the paper flap and pull all of the paper off the pad.

      Kung-fu grip Installation

      1. Get a big plastic mixing bowl, put your hand in the bowl and with smooth pressing strokes, go over the edges, and the main pad, from top to tail, in long smooth strokes. Pop any air bubbles with a tac/needle/pin. Erase the pencil mark with a damp cloth or white eraser..
      2. Screw the strap in over the installed grip. The grip is specifically designed for the Slyde Wedge Pro, Woody and Grom series.

      Gift set - Hawaiian Bula Handboard

      Not sold on it

      I had really high hopes. I have been able to use the Bula on a couple good days. I'm liking my old board better so far. But will try it a couple more times before I return it just to be sure. I have none of the below issues with my Enjoy planer, and thinking of going back.
      1. The dam thing is not secure on my hand. No mater how tight I make it. It litterally pops off my hand while on a wave. Its getting really anoying having to constantly pay attention to it.
      2. I switch my hand depending on the wave direction. It's tough for me to get a grip on the nose, pull it off then pull tightly on other hand in time. I've missed a couple good ones because of this.
      3. The pad that goes accross the top of my hand doesnt cover my whole hand and the seam starts to rub on my hand and is uncomfortable.
      4. Not a huge deal but wasnt happy that there were some small cosmetc defects on the board. Eslescially for the price
      5. The board bag is kind of ridiculous. Its huge and picture on website isnt to scale, but I probably just wont use it. It was basically free.

      I think the only thing I can say positive is I think it has good control... after getting used to the angle I need, and may be a bit more bouyant to pull me out of water for speed. But i need to try it a few times more and figure out how to keep the dam thing on!

      Gift set - The Phish Handboard

      Ready for the Senior Tour

      I received my Slyde Phish just before 2 weeks of gloomy weather. Now that I’ve had a chance to road test it, I can’t wait to get back in the water.

      Growing up in Long Island NY, body surfing was my first wave gliding experience. Typically we would drive straight to shore so surfing the diagonal has been a learning curve.

      I look forward to many great sets this summer.
