I thought about that for sure and I have a ton of it lying around with the projects I am doing. The problem is that the part without the grip is raised to top level of the turf that is already there. If I add turf it will raise those strips above the level of the rest if that makes sense. I would have been fine with stripping it all and starting over but then there would be those humps. It is fine down the middle of the board for foot placement but this goes at an angle on both sides. Strips would be kind of awkward and may peel off quicker. Also I would have to deal with the kickers which is even worse. Maybe board wax would be a better solution? Stuff just gets gunked up though. It's at the office today so I can make a template after work.
Great little board though so it is worth doing the mod.
