IMPORTANT INFORMATION
RIKT interchangeable kick tails deliver the highest level of performance in the RIKT system, but they require a smooth deck surface for proper adhesion.
For best results:
- New boards are ideal.
- Used boards must be free of deep pressure dings where the mounting plate will be installed.
- The deck must be completely clean and free of wax or residue before installation.
If your board has heavy pressure dings in the tail area, we recommend choosing a Grip 2 traction pad with an integrated kick instead of an interchangeable setup.
Following these guidelines ensures maximum performance and a secure, long-lasting bond.
