Extra Grip for Puppy Paws
I bought this non-slip mat to give my dog some traction while she perched on the front of my kayak. It adds a lot of extra grip and she was able to stand more comfortably while I paddled and maneuvered. I really like how easy it was to cut and stick to my kayak, the mat is thick enough to add a good grip and cushion, but thin enough to easily cut it with a pair of scissors. The adhesive is very strong, it has been out in the rain,on a few kayaking trips, put through the dog test, and I do not see any signs of peeling so far. I added some tape in the center of my kayak port, which holds a lot of sitting water and the tape held up just fine to being partially submerged.I liked this product over other similar grip-tapes because it allowed me to fully customize it to my personal kayak and preferences. It would be perfect if the back of the product had a grid to help with cutting but that is just a preference and doesn't take away from the product.

I run a junior sailing program in Hawaii. We use Open Bics, a plastic rotomolded boat. They come with nonskid but it's just two strips and not very effective. We've used SUP pads in the past but the prices have shot through the roof.

Cruising through Amazon one day I ran across these pads. Price wasn't bad and four pads pre boat should do the job. We put them on last week and they've just been through five days of classes. The kids that use them thought they did the job. No sliding around and comfortable to sit on.

The only problem we ran into was two pads had corners lift where the kids pull themselves back on the boat after a capsize. No big deal. A little contact cement resolved it.

We'll be buying more as we need them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy install.
Reviewed in the United States on August 3, 2016

Put this on the splashwell of my boat, over glossy gelcoat. Easy install... check fit and cut, clean surface of boat with rubbing alcohol, peel, carefully line up, and press down. Love it so far, still perfect after 1 month, no peeling. I didn't think about the cleaning aspect, being soft it does get some dirt stains, but a little careful scrubbing with soap and water and it's good to go. Best part is that it's the perfect non-skid for bare feet... just soft enough, excellent pattern to prevent slipping. Color works well on a white boat too.

I had a little left over and used it as a pad for my anchor. For protection I also cut small pieces and formed it to some hard plastic clips and Fender Tenders that sometimes rub against the boat, it formed really well over sharp curves and angles, and stays stuck. I was kind of surprised at how well it sticks on such small, angled surfaces. Cool stuff.

Just put on my luggage carrier that I use to carry my competition pistol box which ways a ton and is the size of a small suitcase. The traction grip mat has was seems to be excellent adhesive. I cut the piece to customize to pad the portions of the cart I needed to. It cuts fine and sticks well. I cannot speak to long term durability as I have just put it on but it seems to be quality-only time will tell though.

Price-the price is outrageous for the very small piece sold!!! I mean-wow-it is way too expensive for what it is. I'm not sure how anyone could afford to put this on a surf board. The piece I got was about $17.00 and a tad longer but thinner width wise than a sheet of legal paper. It worked for my purposes which was why I took a gamble and purchased it at the high price it is sold for.

I think this is a useful product and was easily cut to customize for any purposes. Price not favorable but quality seems good and adhesive adhered well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Better than your typical peel and stick nonskid! Could be a bit thicker, but great product!
Reviewed in the United States on June 14, 2020

Great for adding traction to my kayak! I purchased these to replace some neoprene-like foam pads on the sides of my kayak. I peeled off the old ones, traced them over these nonskid sheets, cut them out, applied Velcro to the back of them, then applied them in place of the old ones. Came out great and now they’re removable too unlike the previous material that was there. Great product! For this particular application, it’s serving as a leg-protector/shin guard to prevent abrasion on one’s legs from the plastic hull of the kayak. Soon I’ll be using more of these to replace the nonskid tape I put down where my feet go on the kayak to prevent slipping, and later, I’ll also be adding more of this to the seat bottom as well. Lots more ideas for this coming soon!

Shipping was quick, and as promised. Pads were very light, die-cutting was excellent. Genuine 3M backing! Installation was easy. The backing was fresh and came off without tearing or hanging up. I did both nose and tail-block on my mid-size as I spend time on both ends. Trimming up was easy with scissors on the nose, while the tail piece fit without alteration. I'll add content after I've had a few months in the water...OK...Several trips and no issues with peeling or tearing. Nice feel underfoot and , coincidentally, a good reference for best body position while paddling. Looks to be a really good product to date.

Ordered this for a section of walkway on our boat between the swim platform and the main interior. The walkway was a smooth section of fiberglass where people would slip and fall if they were wet after swimming. We usually placed a towel down in the area to solve the problem, but that would get drenched and rumpled/moved fairly quickly. We bought this pad as a solution and are very glad we did. The pad is fairly thick and cushiony. It has a diamond plate design on top that looks nice and there is no slipping even with wet feet. The adhesive back is quite strong, once it is placed it is not coming back off easily. Even lightly placing it down, it takes some effort to remove. It is also very easy to cut in order to fit spaces. Overall, we are very happy with this purchase.

This pad is great. The price is great (the idea of paying $50 for a piece of rubber with some adhesive on the bottom is silly). I applied it to my brand new shortboard back in September, and it really gives good control. I surf a lot in the Norcal area (Santa Cruz, OB, Linda mar) and the pad has worked great.

A note about the seller: a few weeks back (probably 8 months after putting the pad on) the pad start peeling off in two places. They use the same 3M adhesive as other pads I've had that lasted for years. So, not their fault, just a fluke. I contacted the seller (Punt Surf) and they immediately sent a promo code for a free pad. Punt Surf are excellent sellers who stand by their products.
