Sans traction pad my boards just seem to paddle better (although this is most likely entirely mental, the drag is probably minimal) and when surfing they seem more sensitive. Additionally, they are quite expensive, and I'm reluctant to spend 40 dollars on something which I can't imagine costs more than a few dollars to manufacture. And there is the added bonus of eschewing garish branding.

Just because you work at a surf shop or in the industry in some capacity doesn't allow you to be so dismissive of everybody. It's pretty rude.
