Default Grip Tape

Hi guys

Am lookin for some grip tape for my new skate, getting an integrity from mike, but its without grip tape as the monster guys have run out of stock.

Where would be a good place to get some decent stuff, what do you guys recomment? would skateboard tape be good enough, or will that just fall off when it gets too wet??

It might be worth contacting a Gator skate supplier as some of their skates come with clear grip to put on yourself and its really good stuff. Just remember to put it on properly before riding.

Anyone know who is the gator supplier in the UK, only has the US ones on the website.

dude whatever you do don't get the grip tape that has little perforations in it. its so that you don't get air bubbles in it when your putting it on a skateboard but when its on a wakeskate it lets water get to the glue and it falls off. try and get Jessups grip tape if you can 'cos it works.
