An UMA board, sadly. I dont know how they do it in states, but Im in Europe, and this one had MADE IN CHINA printed on it. I skated many boards that were made in China, so I didnt really gave a fuck, but it was too clunky, soft, thick, just overal not a great experience. I dont know what I was thinking.
Bummer, my last few UMAs were BBS (had the sticker)

Didn't purchase but I was given a sheet of Pepper grip with a new deck purchase and it's making me want to throw the entire thing away. Theres grippy and then there is grippy to the point where you can't do a single fucking thing cause your feet do not move on the grip.
You just sold me on the pepper. That sounds great
Pepper is my current go to and is in no way 'too grippy' as is being implied in that post. Is it grippy? Yes, yes it is.
It's grippy without being sharp (like Mob). Go back to Jessup if you want less grip than Pepper.
How does grizzly fit into that spectrum?
I like grizzly and would put it up there with Pepper; I'd still pick pepper though, I like grip with perforations =D Prepper is grippier jessup / less chunky mob; closer to mob-m80 but feels like there's more/larger grit.
I have a woodworking side hustle and I have compared them to high end sandpaper:
Mob is 60 grit
Jessup is 80, Pepper seems to be 80 but better adherence to the backing.
Jessup Ultragrip is 60 grit
Mob M80 is, as you would expect, 80 grit
Grizzly feels like 100
Lower the number the grittier. There are big differences though if you are comparing different pad/paper materials but I compared to nicer cloth-backed sandpaper and swanky German orbital discs.
Personally speaking Mob is too much, Grizzly not enough, the rest are right in that sweet spot.
