About Soft Deck Products

About SOFT DECK

Soft Deck is a family run business that grew out of a desire to bring an amazing product to the boating industry.

The owner of Soft Deck, Ross Champion is a life long sailor, boating enthusiast and a multi-time World Champion jet skier. The jet ski world is very familiar with a product called Hydro-Turf which is used as a soft, non-skid solution on the trays of personal watercraft. Hydro-Turf was one of Ross' biggest supporters and sponsors through out his jet ski career and Ross adapted the product for use on many of his personal boats through out the years.

At the end of his jet ski career, Ross began working with Hydro-Turf's parent company Pacific Creations to adapt a product line specifically for the general boating market. Soft Deck is the result of that collaborative effort. Currently all of our products are developed in conjunction with Pacific Creations and are manufactured at their Southern California facility. This relationship allows Soft Deck to leverage Pacific Creation's well established supply chain and manufacturing capability in order to provide our customers with the best prices and highest quality products possible.

Our goal at Soft Deck is to help boaters get the most enjoyment possible out of their boats. Our product has countless uses and we hope to be able to teach all boaters how to use Soft Deck to make their time on the water safer and more enjoyable.

Soft Deck is for you!

Soft Deck is a multi purpose, soft, non-skid solution that is durable, easy to install, and affordable enough to be used anywhere on your boat. Soft Deck is great for everything from giving boat decks comfortable, non-skid surfaces to sit and stand on for long periods of time, to lining your book shelves, counter tops and chain lockers. Soft Deck is not only a great looking alternative to traditional non-slip deck products, but it also provides a durable, wear resistant surface that keeps dishes from sliding around, or your anchor from damaging gel coat. With our incredible selection of colors, cuts, and padding options, you are sure to find a Soft Deck solution to improve the boating experience for you and your crew.


All of our sheet goods are available with or without pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) backing. The products with a PSA backing offer a simple peel and stick installation. Soft Deck offers two PSA options both made by 3M. One is a general all-purpose adhesive, and the second is specially formulated to bond with all types of plastics.
