Who this grip tape is for
This unisex sheet suits any skater setting up or refreshing a deck, whether that is a first build or swapping out worn grip before a session. The single full sheet size covers a standard deck without needing to piece together multiple smaller sections.
Applying and maintaining grip tape
Grip tape works by giving your shoes traction against the deck, so the tape should be applied to a clean, dry deck surface, pressed down from center outward to avoid air bubbles, then trimmed flush to the edges with a razor or file. Adding new grip tape directly over old grip tape is not recommended since it changes the deck feel and can trap dirt or moisture between layers, so remove old grip before applying a fresh sheet. Once applied, grip naturally wears smoother over time with use and should be replaced when it stops providing reliable traction.
Spitfire's background
Spitfire was founded in 1987 by Jim Thiebaud and has grown from a wheel company into a brand that also makes bearings, skateboard tools, griptape, soft goods, stickers, and accessories, the same lineup this griptape belongs to.
