Great product so far

They were pretty easy to put on. Just a sticker. I've put them on both my 5ft 10" shortboard (1 pack) and my 7ft funboard (2 packs). Looks good. I could only get in the water with my pleasure board, but I had no problems with slipping. I was in a full suit with booties. Hands never slipped on the pop-up. So far I am very happy with the purchase. Only time will tell how they hold up over the long term. Only complaint is $70 a box but if they hold up I'll put them on my next board. So long Mr…

Pros
  • Comfortable to use
Cons
  • Unreliable

Do not buy! Slippery when wet!

This is my second review. My first had 5 stars because of the great quality. Unfortunately, this product does not offer the necessary grip on the water, which is why I downgraded the rating to 1 star. This is a hit because I paid for 2 sets and spent $120. This hexatraction is not captivating enough. My bathing suit was all over the board I slipped on so badly. If you use sunscreen, it's even 10 times worse. But not this product, you will waste your money. You also cannot send a letter to the…

  • Hard wearing surface

Almost done, not sticky enough.

Without a doubt this is an innovative product for the SUP market. I think it's a little less than a 4 star hotel but close enough. Decal traction alone isn't enough, it still needs top wax to provide a grip you're comfortable enough with to surf. The decals alone are so wide you'll feel like your feet will slip when carving a deep twist on the bottom of a shaft or upper lip. Would have been a great 5 star product if it was a little tackier. I leave my board in Costa Rica and go there about…

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Unbelievable price

Works surprisingly well

I've added clear hex traction to my new longboard, along with cork hex traction for the midboard and tail. The combination of cork and hexatraction is good and works surprisingly well in waves up to 6ft and maintains control on bottom turns. I was on 4-6 foot waves and everything worked fine (I had no problem staying on the board). I will say that the combination between hexatraction and cork works well in several dimensions: good board grip in turns, but also a good visual cue of where to…

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • So far so good

I bought this for a Waldner Mini Mega Magic 7'6 transporting in a compact sedan becomes. I first tried the foam surface used on SUP boards but it was absolutely horrible for my hands. In general, this surface is quite comfortable on the hands and quite grippy. It can't do everything wax does, but the benefit of not having to wax the board is exceptional! Installation is fine - just do it at home on your desk; I used a hypodermic syringe to break up the bubbles that formed ;) As with other…

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • Vulgarity

I will never go back to waxing

Enthusiastic shortboarder with over 30 years of experience all the time just before my break. I was quite skeptical about buying this, but figured after many generations of nothing but wax, there must be something better. That's it! Wave 1 and 2 I was thinking all over how to place my front foot and how it got stuck, but on my 3rd and every wave after that I didn't think about it as I was throwing 3 or more times per wave of the lip came . I got a good kick from behind grabbing the rails and…

Pros
  • handy item
Cons
  • no achievement

More like smooth sandpaper than wax; I don't have enough grip

I had high hopes for this product when I first heard about it. I liked the prospect of not having to worry about wax melting in the sun or spilling wax everywhere. The HexaTraction design also helps give the board a cool look. I was hoping to test the durability of the decals to see if the price is worth the premium over wax. Wax costs about $2 a block, so I have to go the equivalent of 32 blocks to break even compared to HexaTraction. I probably use around 1-2 wax blocks a month which means…

Pros
  • Lots of positive emotions
Cons
  • Safety
