Harley is an avid jet ski enthusiast, and when he ordered a set of Hjdeck skid pads for his 2024 Sea Doo RXP-X (sea-doo.brp.com), he envisioned more than just a safety upgrade-he wanted style that would turn heads. The Traction mats were designed with a bold hexagonal pattern in black and red, and Harley and his crew installed them before taking the Jet ski to a Prorider Magazine photo shoot in Victoria, Australia. The event featured 30 jet skis and more than 20 models, and Harley's Sea Doo RXP-X stood out for its stylish Hjdeck traction pads. Five models posed on his ski boat, and while the magazine hasn't announced which photos will be featured, Harley is confident: “Photographers love the contrast of the pads-they pop against the water and the models' outfits.”    While he's still waiting on final images from the three photographers, Harley shared sneak peeks of the installed mats and hinted at the upcoming Vic Jetski Riders promotional video. “Hjdeck's mats aren't just functional, they're a statement. I can't wait to see them in print!” Expect his Jet ski to be in the magazine! To order Hjdeck for your Jet ski, please contact eric@hjdeck.com for customer service!

Customizing boat nameplate mats with lightweight, non-slip, corrosion-resistant EVA foam not only shows off your boat's personality, but also improves deck safety! Below is a full process guide for the EVA material: Why Choose EVA Foam? Lightweight: 60% lighter than metal, no increase in hull burden. Anti-skid performance: the surface can be customized with anti-skid texture (e.g. diamond shape, imitation wood grain), wet friction coefficient ≥ 0.8. Corrosion resistance: resistant to seawater, oil, ultraviolet rays, with a long life of 3-5+ years. Shock absorption and noise reduction: cushioning footing and reducing deck noise. Size and Shape: Measure the size according to the installation position (e.g. helm position, gangway entrance). EVA can be freely cut to fit curved or shaped areas. Hjdeck supports the provision of custom sized boat nameplate mats. How to Make Your EVA Nameplate Mat Both Functional and Aesthetic? Basic Design Elements: 1. Engraving process: CNC Engraving: precision etching of boat names, logos or nautical designs with smooth edges. Embossed Textures: Combines anti-slip patterns (e.g., diamond, hexagon) with raised lettering/patterns for both grip and visual depth. 2. Color Schemes: Classic black/gray with bright-colored text (e.g., white, blue) for high visibility. Support custom camouflage patterns to match your boat’s theme. EVA Foam Exclusive Process Choose Reliable Suppliers: Prioritize marine-grade EVA franchise brands (such as Hjdeck) to ensure that the material density ≥180kg/m³, through the EU REACH environmental certification. Provide CAD drawings or physical templates, support 1:1 accurate cutting. DIY Installation Steps: Clean the surface: wipe the deck with acetone to remove oil. Tear off the film and paste: Tear off the backing after aligning the position, press to eliminate air bubbles. Edge treatment: soften the EVA edges with a hot air gun to fit the surface. Acceptance Criteria: No warping, no glue marks, clear and wear-resistant engraved text. Splash water to test the drainage, step on it to check the anti-slip. Please note: not too much water, so as not to affect the adhesion of the backing. (Normal installation 1-2 days before touching water) Maintenance and Upgrade Daily cleaning: Fresh water rinse, soft brush gently sweeps the stains, prohibit strong acid cleaner. Secondary upgrades: add glow-in-the-dark coating or reflective strips to enhance nighttime safety. Why Choose Professional EVA Customization Service? Hjdeck customization advantage: Free rendering preview, support small batch trial production. Free replacement of lossy parts within 1 year (limited to non-human damage).

Why RIB owners switched to EVA foam flooring RIBs (rigid inflatable boats) are prized for their flexibility and versatility, but traditional deck materials like rubber or hard plastic often fall short in safety, durability and comfort. EVA foam floors have been a game changer, especially for inflatable boats and kayaks. Here are the reasons why RIB owners are switching to EVA foam flooring: Excellent Non-Slip Performance The textured surface of the EVA foam has a wet friction coefficient of ≥0.8, ensuring stability even in rough seas. RIB users say they feel confident in both high-speed maneuvers and fishing activities. Lightweight & Buoyant Design EVA floor mats weigh 60% less than rubber alternatives and feature natural buoyancy, preventing sinking if dislodged—a critical safety feature for an inflatable boat. UV Resistance & Saltwater Durability UV-stabilized EVA resists fading and cracking, and its closed-cell structure protects against seawater, oils, and chemicals, extending service life to over 8 years. DIY cutting or custom installation Cut the sheets yourself, or carve them through a template for a 100% matching customized installation Anti-Fatigue & Noise Reduction The cushioning effect of EVA reduces leg fatigue during long sailing and dampens engine vibration for quieter sailing. Step-by-Step: Installing EVA Floor Mats on RIBs Based on customer feedback and expert guidelines, here’s the optimized installation process for RIBs: Surface Preparation Clean the deck with acetone to remove grease and residues. Caution: Test acetone compatibility on PVC/Hypalon hulls first. Custom Cutting for Curved Decks (Sheets) Use a heat gun to soften EVA edges for better contouring. Template services ensure precision for complex shapes. Customer Case Study: EVA Floor Mats Revolutionizes RIB Boats A customer in the Philippines upgraded their rigid inflatable boat (RIB) to peel-and-stick EVA foam mats. Learn how adhesive technology solved their toughest challenges: Problem Hot and slippery: Rubber flooring warped in the tropical sun, creating a trip hazard. Water seepage: Seawater seeped under the loose mats and corroded the aluminum deck. Solution: Peel-and-Stick EVA Floor Mats Permanent Bond: 3M™ Adhesive Backing creates a waterproof seal across the entire deck. Maintenance & Upgrades Daily Care: Rinse once a month with clean water; dry thoroughly. Quick Fix: Seal lifted edges with marine-grade adhesive. Why Choose Professional-Grade EVA? Low-cost EVA products often compromise on density and UV protection. Prioritize suppliers that meet: Density ≥1800kg/m³ (ensures compression resistance). SVHC substance concentration ≤ 0.1% (w/w) (Hjdeck SVHC substance concentration and multiple hazardous substance tests comply with EU REACH regulations) 1+ Year Warranty (e.g., Hjdeck’s 1+year coverage). Act Now: Customize Your RIB Flooring Whether you are a recreational or commercial boater, EVA foam provides safety, comfort, and low maintenance.

Jet skis are all about speed, agility, and adrenaline—but none of that matters if you can’t stay securely on your machine. Whether you're chopping waves or cruising calm waters, jet ski traction pads can transform your safety and performance. Here are 8 compelling reasons why upgrading your ride with a traction pad is a smart move: 1. Prevent Slippery Mishaps Wet jet ski surfaces are notoriously slippery, especially on sharp turns or rough surfaces. Hjdeck Traction Mats provide a textured grip that keeps your feet firmly planted, reducing the risk of falls and injuries. No more sliding off when hitting waves! Plus, Hjdeck offers customizable designs with a wide range of colors, patterns, and even engraved logos to match your style. Want a seamless look? Pair your traction mats with their matching jet ski side pads for a cohesive, high-performance setup. 2. Enhance Control and Stability Better grip means better control. Hjdeck jet ski traction mats improve your ability to maneuver with their textured surfaces—designed to deliver superior grip even in wet conditions. Choose from brushed or embossed textures for subtle traction, or opt for bold routed patterns (like hexagonal or diamond designs) to maximize stability during sharp turns. 3. Protect Your Jet Ski’s Deck Bare jet ski decks can scratch and wear down over time from foot traffic, shoes, or gear. Hjdeck jet ski grip pads act as a durable protective layer, shielding your deck from damage while resisting UV rays, saltwater, and abrasion. Made from marine-grade materials like EVA foam, these pads not only preserve your jet ski’s resale value but also come in customizable colors and patterns to maintain a sleek appearance. 4. Comfort for Long Rides Standing or kneeling on a hard, slippery surface for hours can lead to fatigue and discomfort. High-quality EVA foam traction mats add cushioning underfoot, making long rides more enjoyable and reducing muscle strain.Hjdeck’s high-density EVA foam traction mats take it further—crafted with ultra-durable, high-hardness materials that outlast standard options, yet retain a shock-absorbing design to keep your feet comfortable even after hours on the water. 5. Easy to Install and Customize Most jet ski traction mats come pre-cut or as customizable kits (like Hjdeck’s precision-cut designs), ensuring a perfect fit for your specific model. Installation is DIY-friendly—just peel, stick, and ride! Prefer total creative control? Hjdeck also offers raw EVA foam sheets—buy them in bulk, cut your own mats with simple tools, and mix-and-match patterns to design a jet ski floor that’s uniquely yours. It’s the ultimate DIY solution for riders who love customization! 6. Resist Harsh Marine Conditions Salt water, UV rays, and extreme temperatures won't affect the performance of a quality mat. Hjdeck Marine Grade EVA Foam is waterproof, UV resistant, and durable even in the harshest conditions. 7. Upgrade Your Jet Ski’s Look Who says safety can’t be stylish? Jet ski traction pads come in sleek designs and colors, from classic black to bold patterns. And Hjdeck Brands even offer custom logos or color matching options, so you can make every ride your best ride. 8. Boost Resale Value A well-maintained jet ski with quality non-slip mats is more appealing to buyers. Traction mats show you’ve invested in protecting the machine, making it easier to sell at a higher price later. Final Thoughts Jet ski traction mats aren’t just an accessory—they’re an essential upgrade for anyone serious about safety, comfort, and performance. Whether you’re tackling choppy waters or enjoying a sunset cruise, these mats ensure every ride is smooth, secure, and stylish. Ready to transform your jet ski?

Tools Needed 1) Sharp Utility Knife2) Masking Tape3) Measuring Ruler4) Roller (Laminated)5) Cleaner6) Clean Rag7) Adhesion promoter. If there are non-slip particles on the surface, or the surface is not flat, we recommend applying a little adhesive glue before installation (E.g 3M Primer 94).8) Glue. (lf you have purchased 2 or more pieces, need use the glue to spliced together. Otherwise not needed.)9) If your deck has been pasted with EVA mats or Carpet, you also need to prepare a shovel to get rid of old mats. Purchase tools: https://www.hjdeck.com/collections/tools Installation Recommendations  1) Install EVA mat in temperatures between 50° F to 100° F (10° C to 38°C).2) The surface needs to be completely clean and free of any residues(oil, wax, dust, etc).3) The floor surface also needs to be completely dry in order for EVA foam mat to adhere properly.4) Do not attempt to adjust or move once the installation process has begun.5) To prevent distortion, avoid pulling,stretching, or compressing pads during installation. [About the Color] - If you purchase more than 2 pieces and find that there is color difference, please change the sheet head to tail swap. (The wire drawing on the surface of the material has a direction). [About Splicing] - If you have purchased 2 or more pieces and need to be spliced together, it is recommended to use glue to splice the two pieces together before installing. If you install directly without splicing first, there will be slight shrinkage after a long time, and garbage will be hidden in the splicing place. [About Adhesive] -The boat deck materials are aluminum alloy, glass fiber reinforced plastic, gel coat board(FRP), PP, PVC, wood, etc. The adhesive is the strongest on the aluminum alloy, and the wood is the least sticky. The uneven surface is not sticky. For the surface that is not sticky, it is recommended to use an adhesion promoter to coat the deck before stick the EVA foam sheet.   Preparation Completely wash the entire area where installation will occur (remove all grease, adhesive, mold-release, wax, dirt, and other substances). Ensure the area is completely dry before continuing. If had stuck old mat or something on the deck, you need to use tools to clean the surface of the deck. Installation  Step1: Unpack and layout out all pieces on a flat surface to allow them to relax and return to flat after being packed for shipping. Fix them with marking pen or masking paper. Confirm the exact installation position. (Please make sure the texture direction). [Suggestion] - We suggest beginning at either the front or back and working towards the other direction.  Step 2: Measuring the size, mark, trim and cut the EVA foam sheet, lay out the pads in their designated locations to verify that the fit and spacing is correct. [Note] -If the material to be affixed is a surface that is not easy to stick / has non-slip particles / an uneven surface, you must first coat the surface of the deck with an adhesion promoter evenly, then stick the EVA foam sheet.  Step 3: If the piece is large, you can use a sharp razor knife, gently cut the paper adhesive backing from the left to right(or right to left). But DO NOT cut into the pad.  Step 4: Starting from the center cut you just made, peel back 2"(5 cm) of the paper backing and fold to crease it. Repeat on the other side. Fold both pieces of the paper backing in place to cover the adhesive.  Step 5: Turn the pad back over and reposition it exactly where you want it installed.  Step 6: Firmly secure one side of the pad to the surface area using masking tape. Taping prevents the pad from moving.  Step 7: Lift up the side that is not taped down and peel the paper backing from the crease. Gently lay the pad back in place. Use masking tape to prevents the pad from moving.  Step 8: Peel the paper backing from the other side crease. Once the piece is in place and backing paper fully removed press down on the entire surface to ensure bond.  Step 9: Take your roller roll in a back and forth motion from the center of the piece (center to top, center to bottom). Apply even pressure to ensure no air is trapped beneath the pad, special attention to all the edges. The pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) on the back of the mats requires 15psi to activate. [Tips] - If you get a small bubble that will not work itself out you can poke a hole in the mat with a pin or the point of your razor knife and push the air out through the hole. The hole will be invisible once it is pressed down.  Step 10: Continue with the rest of the areas to be covered with mats using the same method, and ensuring alignment of each piece before sticking them down. Enjoy your new EVA foam mat. Maintenance 1) Cleaning with water. If there is fish blood, red wine and other colored liquid needs to be cleaned as soon as possible.2) Do not press heavily, if you need to press, you need to press the whole eva foam mat.3) Do not scald at high temperature,instantaneous high temperature. Above 70 degrees will cause the material to shrink and destroy the internal structure. PS: The glass refraction focus point on the ship will produce high temperature.

For 2024, Hjdeck is making significant updates to its EVA foam boat flooring, with a focus on improving EVA flooring properties and enhancing adhesive backing. These updates were designed to provide boat owners with a superior and more reliable flooring solution. In this blog post, we'll explore the key updates Hjdeck made and provide some valuable tips for boat owners considering installing EVA foam boat flooring. Enhanced Features of Hjdeck EVA Foam Marine Flooring 1. Improved EVA Material: Hjdeck has upgraded the EVA foam material used in marine flooring. The improved material provides better cushioning, higher durability and greater resistance to abrasion. The camouflage colored EVA flooring is significantly less prone to discoloration. 2. Thicker Backing: Hjdeck EVA Foam Marine Flooring has increased the thickness of the backing to provide stronger adhesion and ensure a stronger installation. Installation Tips for Boat Owners 1. Consider the weather conditions: If you received your EVA Foam Boat Flooring in cold weather, it is recommended that you wait for temperatures to return before installing it. Alternatively, you can gently heat the adhesive backing with a hair dryer to help restore adhesion. 2. Allow sufficient curing time: After installing the EVA foam flooring, it is important to allow 1-2 days for the adhesive to fully bond to the hull surface. This will minimize the risk of the floor loosening in water or developing raised edges. 3. Properly Clean and Prepare the Surface: Before installing a new floor, make sure the boat's surface is clean and free of dirt, grease and wax. A clean, smooth surface improves adhesion and makes for a stronger installation. FAQ Is Hjdeck's EVA foamed marine flooring durable? Yes, Hjdeck has physically upgraded the EVA foam marine flooring to make it more wear resistant and durable. Do I need to consider weather conditions when installing EVA flooring? Yes, if the weather is cold it is advisable to wait until it is slightly warmer before installing. Alternatively, the adhesive backing can be heated with a hair dryer to restore adhesion. What are the benefits of EVA foam marine flooring? EVA foam marine flooring offers several benefits, including comfort underfoot, slip resistance and ease of maintenance. It provides a cushioned surface that improves safety in wet conditions and is easy to clean and maintain!
