    Sandpaper for skateboards

    Paper Sandpaper for skateboards on offer at the Sportano shopA skateboard is not just about the board, wheels and truckies. In fact, one of the key components of any skateboard, often overlooked when discussing equipment, is sandpaper. Why is it so important? Sandpaper, often referred to as 'grip', offers the skateboarder the necessary grip, providing confidence and control when performing tricks or simply riding.Types of sandpaper: differences in gritThe skateboard as a sporting tool requires not only good technique, but also the right equipment. Among the many components that make up a skateboard, sandpaper is the one that is often underestimated. But it is its grit, or degree of roughness, that determines the grip of the foot on the board and affects the comfort and confidence of the ride. The main feature that distinguishes the different types of sandpaper is their grit. On the P scale, which is the most commonly used grit scale, the numbers can range from P40 to P150 or even higher. But what does this mean for the skateboard rider? Coarser grits (P40 - P60): these are extra coarse grit papers that offer maximum grip. Ideal for those who perform advanced tricks or need extra stability. Their disadvantage is that they can be less comfortable, especially for those riding barefoot or with thinner footwear. Medium grit (P80 - P100): they represent the golden mean between grip and comfort. They are perfect for most riders, whether beginners or more advanced. Thinner grits (P120 - P150 and above): These abrasive papers are smoother and offer slightly less grip, but are much more comfortable for the feet. They can be ideal for those who prefer a smoother ride or simply want to avoid feeling rough underfoot. Choosing the right grit of sandpaper is a matter of personal preference and riding style. For someone who performs complex tricks, grip may be a priority. Others may be looking for a balance between grip and comfort. It is important to experiment and find the type of sandpaper that best suits individual needs.Installation and replacement: how to apply sandpaper correctly sandpaper on a skateboard? Correctly applied sandpaper on a skateboard is the basis for a successful ride. It not only guarantees greater comfort, but also safety when performing tricks or riding on uneven surfaces. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced rider, it is important to know how to apply sandpaper correctly and when to replace it. Prepare the board: make sure the surface of the board is clean and dry before starting to install the sandpaper. Remove any old sandpaper residue using a knife or spatula. Wipe the cleaned board with alcohol or a special degreasing agent. Sanding paper selection: Make sure you have the correct size of sanding paper. It should fit exactly to the surface of your board. Paper that is too big can be cut to the right size, but paper that is too small will not cover the entire board, which can affect the comfort and safety of the ride. Applying the paper: remove the paper protection from the glue and apply the sandpaper to the board, making sure that no air bubbles form. Start from the centre and gently press down on the edges. Smooth the surface to make sure the paper adheres evenly. Trimming the excess: use a sharp knife or scalpel to trim the excess sandpaper around the edge of the board. Point the knife at an angle and cut the paper along the edges of the board. Finish the edges: for extra durability and aesthetics, you can sand the edges of the sandpaper using an old piece of sandpaper or a special sanding tool. This will make the paper more resistant to coming off during the ride. When to replace: sandpaper is not forever. When you notice that it is starting to lose its roughness, becoming smooth or starting to peel off, this is a sign that it is time to replace it. Regular inspection and replacement of the sandpaper will guarantee a safe and comfortable ride. Remember that properly applying sandpaper to your skateboard is an investment in your safety. Careful and accurate application will ensure that the paper will last for a long time, providing you with the right grip and riding comfort.
