I bought KP2 tape from my local Naish dealer(Covewater Paddle Surf in Santa Cruz), so I imagine any on-line Naish dealer could get it for you.

Any ideas of online vendors that sell the KP2 tape, perhaps under a different name?

I went to the website and emailed them.  Not sure if its ok to put his full name on here, but his first name is Matt - great guy, I'm sure he can give you more info on where to order.  Good luck.

Installed NSI, Naish and Rail Saver Pro in different boards.

Think that RSP is the best of the three by a wide margin. Easy to work with and very resistant.

They now have some options without lettering.

Sure you get the same stuff over the pond...but in the UK loads of folk buy helicopter tape. It is brilliant....easy to put on, see through and works fantastic. I bought Surftech Rail Tape once for twice the price and it was rubbish.

I got my tape from here:

I read one or two people's comments that rail tape wasn't great for SUS boards. Something about the rails not holding in the wave face as well. Thoughts?

got this from ace it's for steps but I use it on all my sus boards supposed to be 2.50$ a foot but the cashier gave it to me 2.50 for the whole roll. her bad. it's 2 inches wide clear and perfect for my sus board rails when the cashier made the mistake I went to the back and picked up another roll.

I'm still a Rail Saver pro fan. It will go on all my new boards except the wood Javelin. And on that too if I start using it regularly.
You want me to put some on the Speedboard?

I can also recommend Rail Saver Pro. Significantly better than the other tapes I used before.

If your math is correct, you paid $5 for $300 worth of tape.  I sure hope the scanner made the mistake and that the cashier doesn't have to eat that one. 

Back in my UPS driver days I got cheated out of $100 on a COD payment by a quick change artist. 

It really sucked. 

I often go out of my way to teach young cashiers how to make change - keep the customer's money on display until the transaction is complete - etc.

Totally agree! Karma will sort that out sooner or later!

the cashier still works there. sorry if u guys see it that way butfrom what I been experiencing lately it's on the good side for me. I usually don't have that extra cash to spend on my sup hobby so I save up all my recyclables to buy me stuff I need but this past couple months people been stealing it when me and my family ain't home. so please don't say karma is gonna get me cause it's the only good thing that came around lately for me.

When you've got the rail tape fitted, maybe you could invite the store owner and cashier over, to test it's efficiency?

Sorry Leo, no matter how you try to spin it, what you did was just not cool. 

Maybe not saying anything on the initial sales mistake might have gotten you a mulligan from some, but when you "double-downed" at the poor clerk's expense, that went WAY over the line....IMO obviously.

Sounds like Karma hasn't been on your side for some time now. Might be time for a change bro!
