AJSP in Queensland. They sell it in large sheets. There are all different colours and textures. Make sure you get the cut diamond texture , not the moulded diamond texture. Also you want the plain back , not the sticky back. And glue it yourself with contact adhesive.

Surf Sail Australia has best selection with known quality (proper 3M unlike some)
Cost of post from AJSP is not so great here .

however Rango I make them and also have ok secondhand if you're looking to match what's on your board

Does the 3M backed stuff stick as good as contact adhesive? I've never tried it.

+1 for Surf Sail Australia.
I also followed the instructions from the PVB and Mark Australia Youtube video, which worked very well!

On a good surface yes (like new board or similar)
If the surface is maybe a bit dodge, priming with a contact can help

If it's those heel bumpers that have a hole moulded in the deck.? Nightmare
I have a way buts not maybe quite DIY
if it's for a kid bring it in no charge it's just offcuts
