Just go to your local surf shop they sell the stuff on a roll by the meter. I did exactly that, and cut out a nice pattern that actually fits in with the front and back pad.
Looks good and works well

On the goldie I went to "The board room" in miami. I suspect the Billabong and Rip curl style shops would be useless unless you want to buy boardies. A small independant surf shop would be the go.

These Piccies show the grip I cut out just using a bowl. It's the black stuff between the front and back straps. That area was super slippery and I didn't want to have to worry about wax. The only reason I blow a turn now is just being plain unco, Never slip.
