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. in USA, buy it at: AEROTECH- Marty & Steve AEROTECH 3109 S Ridgewood Avenue 32119 South Daytona FLORIDA USA Phone : 1-386-760-9926 Fax : 1-386-760-9923 I'll check it out, thanks!

Went to their website and seems that they are into surfing and such.
