Grip tape is more than just sandpaper for your board. It is a specialized silicon-carbide grit bonded to a waterproof backing, designed to provide consistent friction for flicking tricks and staying glued to your deck during heavy impacts. At The Drop, we offer a range of grit levels and styles to suit every rider.
- The Industry Standards: Mob and Jessup
- Mob Grip: Often called "The #1 choice of pros," Mob features a coarser grit and thousands of tiny, invisible perforations. This allows air to escape during application, guaranteeing a bubble-free finish every time.
- Jessup Griptape: The original. Jessup offers a slightly smoother feel that is easier on your shoes while still providing ample traction for technical street skating.
- Style and Substance: Grizzly and Shake Junt
- Grizzly Griptape: Founded by Torey Pudwill, Grizzly is famous for their iconic "Bear" cutout and vibrant graphic sheets. It balances high-end performance with some of the best art in the game.
- Shake Junt: "Get There!" Shake Junt is known for its raw, street-centered energy and signature green/yellow graphics. Perfect for skaters who want their board to look as loud as their skating.
- Specialized Options: Clear, Colored, and Extra-Wide
- Clear Grip: Perfect for showing off a top-side wood grain or a top graphic on your deck.
- 10" & 11" Widths: Most standard grip is 9" wide. For those riding Heroin Eggs, Powell Peralta Reissues, or Longboards, we stock extra-wide rolls to ensure full coverage on your "wide boy" shapes.
