Anyone have recommendations for a teak deck?

when wet. Yes I said slippery! If it weren't for the rubber beading
between the planks, you could ice skate on the durn things. However
there's no fighting tradition!

Teak doesn't seem to be particularly slippery. The only teak decks I
have personally walked on have been on big ships and had no finish or
stuff between planks. Just sanded once a year. The original thickness
of three inches would last quite a while. They use this thin veneer on
smaller craft and call it decking, and you can't sand that stuff much.
What exactly is slippery? A coat of varnish?
