top of the deck Grip tape, when applied to the top surface of a skateboard, gives a skater's feet grip on the deck. It is most often black but can come in a variety of colors including clear, allowing the * top of the deck * to be decorated. It has an adhesive back and a sandpaper-like top.

top deck / bottom deck mijn eerste idee was bovenlaag (van het deck), maar het kan net zo goed bovenkant zijn: top of the (skateboard) deck

ik vond in ieder geval dit:

The biggest challenge of putting graphics on skateboards is to design them without ruining their function. You sure can put any graphics that you’d like to put on the bottom and top deck.

If there are colorful grip tapes, there is also a clear grip tape. Using this, you can design the top deck similar to how the bottom deck is designed. The only difference is that instead of laminating the design with clear coat, you’ll protect the design with a clear grip tape. To do this, remove the old grip tape from the skateboard. Clean the top deck ....
