Front Traction Pad Survey

Postby Joaquim » Mon Nov 11, 2019 2:58 pm

Hey all,

I was wondering, how many of you folks equip the board with a front traction pad, and the pro's and con's of it. It looks like the area for placing the feet is smaller than a waxed one would. Any thoughts?

If you are in Rio, just use wax.

You intending to put this on what size board ? And are you doing "airs" on said board ?
