RSPro HexaTraction Board Grip

Wax, without the wax

RSPro HexaTraction is a modular, temperature-independent grip alternative to traditional surf wax and pads. Built from hexagonal segments that lock together to cover exactly the area you need, it delivers consistent grip in any water temperature — no re-waxing, no melting, no residue.

Available in Clear (keeps your board’s graphics fully visible) or White (a clean, refreshed look that pops on both light and dark boards), HexaTraction works across epoxy, polyester, and soft-top constructions — from shortboards to SUP decks.

Specifications

Construction

Each hexagon is a modular, self-adhesive traction segment that interlocks with its neighbours to build a continuous, non-slip surface. The material stays grippy independent of water or air temperature — unlike wax, which softens in the heat and hardens in the cold — and resists UV degradation, so it won’t crack, peel, or need reapplying through a season.

Why We Recommend It

A clean, low-maintenance alternative to wax for anyone who’s tired of rewaxing mid-session or dealing with wax residue in their board bag — well suited to shortboards, longboards, and SUP decks alike.
