I am 98% sure they sprayed it on Ocean Planet, and got good, even
distribution of the particulate matter.

The sense of security the stuff provides on a wet deck set a new
benchmark in my experience. We used to use ground pumice, but the Nautix
Grip made that feel like baby wipes.


I'm more worried about my knees and things like my foulies.

Then it is probably not for you.

I guess.

I dove under the lifelines one time to get onboard (OP at dock needs steps
to get up onto) and wound up with pronounced "road rash" on my arm.

Not suprising! Diving under the lifelines to board a boat is rife
with hazards :)

But, having once experienced losing my footing, sliding to leeward, and
staying onboard *only* because my lifeline tether was hooked up, I
*really, really,* like the idea of superior traction.

Non-skid is only part of the formula. What kind deck shoes or sea boots
were you using and what kind of shape were they in. Our old teak decks
had superior grip but only with reasonable footwear (or bare feet).

Walking on it, no problem. Kneeling on it, no problem. Dragging along
it...maybe not so good :)

I rarely kneel on a deck unless I am doing something, so the kneewear
will suffer.


Oddly enough it didn't feel "bad" on bare feet, but you didn't want to
drag your feet or fall on it. You simply do not slide at all, which is,
of course, the point.


I don;t think we have established where to get it yey. SOunds like a
good product.

Went to their website and seems that they are into surfing and such.
No reference to non-skid products.
