| Hexatraction (by RSPro)... interesting. Hadn't heard of it, but the Amazon reviews are mixed, with paddleboarders tending to like it and many surfers saying it's not quite grippy enough. Also interested in hearing firsthand here! |

| Not sure if NSI in Hood River still carries RS Pro Hexatraction, but I would think you would be better off with one of their thinner EVA foam products for strapless traction since it would also offer a bit of cushioning to protect your board (and heels). |

I really like RS Pro Hexatraction. The cork is super light weight.
Traction is perfect for me with booties. |

I use mine on SUP in waves which was an extremely noticeable weight reduction compared to the stock pad.
Check with BIg Winds for their feedback on kite conditions:

But the cork is the most likely the best option if weght is your biggest concern.
The guy who turned me on to RSPro cork hexatraction uses it on his foilboard. |

I have to respond.
I tried every grip I could buy including spray ons
Surfco Hawaii makes a silicone grip which won my trust
Rolls of it are sold at boat stores for deck traction
Soft rubberlike silicone and grippy
Dave owns Surfco and be is a real nice Hawaiian guy
Small company
They ship from Hawaii
