FAQS

DO I NEED GRIP TAPE?

For UK customers, our decks come with a free sheet of standard grip tape supplied. Unfortunately, we cannot offer this service to European-based and Nordic-based customers at this time. Please note – decks are non-returnable once the grip tape has been applied. Please see our Delivery and Returns page for more information.

 

WHAT IF I HAVE A FAULTY SKATEBOARD, OR HAVE SNAPPED MY SKATEBOARD DECK?

We will only accept an item as faulty if there is a manufacturing fault. This does not include decks damaged due to skating errors. Most snapped decks occur when a trick is landed incorrectly or if your feet are not positioned over the trucks. We cannot take responsibility for any damage caused by misuse.

If you think your deck has a manufacturing fault, please email us photos before returning it, as we can assess many boards through this process and avoid sending it back unnecessarily. We will only process the exchange or refund if we deem the item as faulty.

 

CAN I RETURN A SKATEBOARD DECK THAT HAS HAD GRIP TAPE APPLIED TO IT?

Please note that once skateboard hardware or grip tape has been applied to a deck, it cannot be returned for an exchange or refund. All decks must be returned in an un-skated and re-sellable condition.

 

HOW DO I REMOVE OLD GRIP TAPE FROM A DECK?

1. Use a heat gun or hairdryer to warm up the edges of the old grip tape.
2. Slowly peel up the grip tape, applying heat as needed.
3. Alternate between heating and pulling off the grip tape. As you progress down the board, it should become easier to remove.
4. Once the old grip tape is fully removed, you can apply the new sheet of grip.

 

HOW DO I APPLY GRIP TAPE TO A SKATEBOARD DECK?

1. Prepare the deck by clearing any debris.
2. Peel back the grip tape sheet and hold the adhesive side above the board.
3. Start from the center of the board and apply the grip tape, working outward.
4. Use the backing sheet to push out any creases or bubbles to the edge of the deck.
5. Once air bubbles are gone, trim off the excess grip tape.
6. Use a file or metal tool to file down the edges of the grip tape.
7. Peel up the edges for easier cutting.
8. Cut the excess grip tape from the side, away from yourself.
9. Use the excess grip tape to sand down the edges of the grip for a better hold.
