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.
