Cleaning "Startouch" Deck Traction?
« on: March 06, 2012, 11:20:49 AM »
Just picked up a very nice, used Starboard Pocket Rocket, but after three great days on it, I won't be able to get back out in the water on it for a couple more.....so thought I'd give it a little "sprucing up" just for the hell of it.

So I'm wondering, what are you guys using on the "Startouch" decks that won't, or doesn't affect (or is it "effect"...always confuses me  :-\ :D) the traction of them?

Thanks Weasels and Craig......and "thank you" Craig for the board.  Absolute blast!!

But now my buddy's pissed at me after riding it.....since I had originally told him about the board thinking he'd buy it, figuring I'd just be too big for it.  The first time I let him try it, I had to dang near knock him off of it to get it back from him.  ;D ;D

Anyone interested in letting go of theirs, let me know.....I have a buyer already lined up for ya!!

I picked up a bunch of tar on mine a while back and used paint thinner and a rag and don't think I effected it at all.

Boludo has one, which I rode yesterday, actually.  It's an older camouflage model.  Not that he is selling it, but hey, money talks.

Cardiff Sweeper,

I got to give a shout out to you to tell you thanks for swapping boards for a few waves.  That little Starboard Pod is killer!! I must say that I was a non-believer in that board but man is it super fun....and stable.

Tough selling the pocket rocket even though I don't ride it much at all.  Those small days I really enjoy taking it out.  My wife keeps saying that this summer she's gonna do it so I figure the pocket rocket is a good one for her to learn on some small rollers.
