What Are Piktrik Paddle Skins?

Piktrik paddle skins are premium vinyl wraps that cover your paddle’s face, blending bold aesthetics with lasting protection. Made in the USA, they feature high-resolution designs like Electric Lime Blaze and Petal Pop Flower, crafted to endure intense play while keeping your paddle pristine.

Skins vs. Stickers vs. Edge Tape

  • Paddle Skins: Full-face vinyl covers for style and durability (e.g., Neon Skull).

  • Stickers: Smaller, less durable decals for minor accents.

  • Edge Tape: Protects paddle edges, not the face. Piktrik focuses on skins for maximum impact.

Materials and Build

  • USA-Made Vinyl: 4 mil (2.5 mil for select designs), UV-resistant, waterproof.

  • Scratch-Resistant Finish: Shields against dinks and smashes.

  • Adhesive: Strong hold, residue-free removal for easy swaps.

Why Choose Piktrik Skins?

Style That Pops

  • Bold Designs: From fiery Flame Wave to vibrant Voltage Pink, express your personality.

  • Team Unity: Match skins for squads or clubs.

  • Seasonal Vibes: Limited-edition designs for holidays like July 4th.

Practical Perks

  • Protection: Guards paddle from scratches and wear.

  • Grip Enhancement: Improves control (grip-focused skins coming soon).

  • Longevity: Lasts 6–12 months with proper care.

Tournament Considerations

Piktrik skins align with USAPA guidelines based on published standards (not formally approved). Standard designs like P Logo are safe; check textured skins for roughness limits. Verify with tournament organizers for compliance.
