I have memory foam mats to throw across the boat when tied up, but I'm talking about when your at the dock tieing up or washing down! I busted my butt in KW last year, but then I also stepped on a pop top and blew out a flip flop there that day!

How about water beading on the deck of the boat in the shape of the skater logo? Ceramic Pro coating. Water beads pretty good on it. And they tell me I will never have to wax it. Just water hose off anything that is on it (scum line, spider dots, salt water spots, ect.).

Nonskid in some areas make a lot of sense.

How about a pair of dedicated deck shoes that dont leave the boat . Slip on off and ready for the next go around.

IMHO: Dry bare feet get the best grip...outside of non skid.

Yes I'm a bare feet only guy. Problem arises when jumping upon the deck to tie off if it's wet or boarding and disembarking passengers. Also when hosing it down your feet are always wet and you down dare use a soap or Salt-a-way. I have not waxed the deck only the sides since I painted it. I use a spray on UV protectant on the deck and upholstery which really make it shine but is not slippery.

I would love to find a wax to put on the deck for more protection that will not make it slippery.

Hmmmm, non slip wax, mustache wax maybe. Bikini wax! Your best bet are some hockey pads.

^^^^^^^^^^ Judging by these facetious claims, use of a respirator is recommended during application to avoid "lightheadedness"... Not to mention he hasn't had any kids since he started using it....coincidence? I think not.
