Hello folks and welcome to TWO KOOKS Reviews.
Our mission is to bring honest, unbiased and insightful surf product reviews to the attention of you! The viewer...
Many of our reviews will be of products from small, lesser known companies that we feel are deserving of your attention.
We are going to focus on four main aspects of each product that we are given the opportunity to test:
1. Innovation - Is the product something new or innovative? does it
fill a gap in the market? Or maybe its simply better( or
worse)than products that are already available.
2. Quality - not every product can be a new or revolutionary idea.
We believe that there are a lot of products that can be produced
at a much higher quality. Surf hardware and accessories are not
cheap, and the quality varies significantly. Our aim is to highlight
companies and products that we believe are doing that little bit
extra to bring value to you; the customer!
3. Price - Is it fairly priced, does it represent value for money. We
understand how hard most people have to work for their
money. In our opinion a lot of surf products are overpriced and of
poor quality. We have spent many a hour and hundreds of
emails, getting in touch with companies that we believe offer
something better.
4. Environmental sustainability - Eco products are all the
rage....Unfortunately a lot of surf industry marketing money has
been devoted to convincing buyers that X product has eco
credentials. A lot of it is BS. There are companies out there
trying to do the right thing, and we hope let you know who they
are and why there goods are eco positive.

Subscribed you guys are f'ing cooL! greetings from Cali!
That's for the review!! :)
I bought these, the grip is not bad however all of the grip pads peeled off third time i used it. Literally the sticky side and the grip side of the grip pad split apart. Now i have a hypto crypto that needs probably a few hours of work to get beach in the water.
Before you put on any type of pad make sure you fully clean the board with even a dab of acetone to get it all 100% ready then super lightly sand it where you’re putting the pad it should never come off if you do it right!
I want to try it. But I hate the price. And what scares me is if the board is cracked or delaminated, reglueing this will be messy. It can be reused since I have reused pads. Is tedious and has to be done right so the glue won't be visible.
Any updates on how this stuff is lasting/performing?
Thanks!
Hi AJ, this stuff really lasts well, we have had the same set on one of our boards for over 2 years and it's still going strong.
I had my on my new board and the grip patch went from the still sticking glue patch off my board...50 bucks for nothing...

How is it without a wetsuit? Tough on the skin?
Not as bad you might think. It feels a bit wierd and rougher than wax.
