My son slipped on his butt hard on our nacra 450(he was barefoot)..I've since purchased "motto" (clear) 10" x 48" for 10.00 from the skateboard store..seems like a good deal but I'm hesitant to put it on the hulls for fear of it yellowing & being hard to get off later..any experience with this tape?

Thats why I never sail barefoot, you just dont have the same grip when wearing shoes.
As an alternative you could also use sexwax which is used to apply grip to surfboards, it looks a bit odd but works very well.
