Clear grip tape is REALLY good if the top of your deck has graphics on it.. or .. What I've done on a couple of decks I've put together- put stickers on the top of the deck and lay over it with clear grip tape.. the effect is cool with the stickers showing through the tape and the decals stay somewhat protected too.. The down side of clear grip is that if it gets street crud all on it - it is a pain to clean..

Well i guess you could say that, but its never a good idea to get any part of your skate wet. Wet grip is less grippy and increases the chance of your grip peeling off. Also if you get your deck wet it can become waterlogged (which causes it to be heavy and lose pop), not to mention the rust on your trucks and bearings (rust can eventually cause your bearings to fall apart)
