“KwikRink V” (KwikRink 5) is our 5th generation formula. It is a fully lubricated surface that requires no topical sprays whatsoever. The slip agent will not ooze out of the surface and run dry in a few years like many of the “self-lubricating” panels sold on today’s market. The speed and performance is unmatched in the industry. One of the biggest differences noticed on the KwikRink V is in backwards skating and transitioning. Because of other synthetic ice surfaces resistance, you will slow down as you transition, and backwards skating does not feel as natural. On KwikRink V, this drag or resistance is dramatically decreased. KwikRink V is changing the perceptions of current industry limitations. The most common consumer complaints in the industry have to do with; surface glide, backwards skating and transitioning, and oily panels.
One of the most common complaints about synthetic ice is that it doesn’t glide anything like real ice. You can YouTube countless videos of people skating on “synthetic ice”, but it looks more like they are walking with skates on. KwikRink V has a surface glide of up to 50 plus feet with just one stride.
The next most common issue regarding synthetic ice has to do with backwards skating and transitioning. These skills have had a very unnatural feel across the industry, and are entirely impossible on some of the surfaces out there – until now. KwikRink V is the closest synthetic surface to ice, made to date.
There are other fully/self lubricated panels on today’s market. These panels do not require any type of topical spray. The problem with the majority of these panels is that the slip agent will migrate out over time, rendering the surface a dead cutting board within a few years. This leaves you with an oily surface that eventually turns into a useless piece of plastic. KwikRink V’s slip agent is completely dry and will not migrate outside of the panel.

KwikRink Gen 5 surface skates like real ice and the puck slides around as if it where on real ice. My son is a goalie, and does a little goalie work on it, but he usually skates and shoots on it. He can do everything from skating backwards to hockey stops.

Our top product is about 90% of the speed of real ice.
Yes! you can practice any skill that you can perform on real ice.
No, temperature does not impact performance.
3/8" thick = 7 to 10 years. 1/2" thick = 10 years+.
They fit together just like a puzzle. KwikRink's proprietary Lock-Rink assembly assures a virtually seamless surface.
