    Please don't delete I know this is a dama forum and that's my first love but I'm kinda outta options. I've reached out to the makers of flikboard they are done and won't be coming back. Mine is almost thrashed and me and my kids really play a lot. They are young and not so great with kendama yet. Anyone with a spare would be our hero.

    Maybe a 3D print would be an option.

    You could just get the measurements off the one you have and 3D print it yourself.

    If you can find someone to model it for you there are online 3D printers as well. I've also heard that some local libraries have 3D printers. Good luck.

    I can go to Air Traffic and get one for you, I believe they still have a few in stock. I could call them but I'm planning on making a trip out there anyway. I'm not sure what the price at Air Traffic is however. I think they are discounted right now, but I'm not entirely sure.

    Have you guys heard of Myachi? It's in a similar vein and been around a bit longer. I have a FLIKboard, it was fun for a bit The sticker/griptape is completely gone now tho

    Lol I wrote you about myachi on the other thread. Tell me your thoughts compared to flikboard, does the different types material affect the play?

    Also any thoughts or ideas as a way to add more tack again? Like a paint or coating or maybe griptape?

    I'll look for mine when I get home from work today. I got it at Air Traffic a year or so ago, but never got into it, so it's pretty fresh. I can send it your way. Better to have someone enjoy it!

    try grabbing a Flopball instead.


    I got a few boards last year for resale and frankly wasn't impressed by the overal finish.

    The flopballs will allow u to do the same and more, and the maker is actually a nice, motivated person.
