Abstract
Strips of material having on their top surfaces a large number of closely spaced flexible loops of resilient material, and a method for bonding such strip on the top riding surface of a surfboard. Strips of flexible material having on their top surface a large number of closely spaced hooking elements of resilient material which cooperate with said flexible loops are bonded to the chest area of a wet suit carried by the surfboard rider. The device prevents the rider from sliding off the board while paddling with face down on the board, against the surf.
