tractioon pad on 7'8'' fun board

[speedfreaksdvd]

Freak Traction makes a nice pad for a longer board but im on the fence with it any opinions?

i wouldn't waste your money. never really saw the need for a pad on longer boards.

Buy three pads for that thing. The more pads the more traction you will have.

Where on the deck would you put a traction pad? You have a board that's big enough that not only can you shift your weight on it, but you can also move your feet to step closer/farther from the nose as you surf. Use that to your advantage for surfing different breaks and conditions, and just use wax! (wax is also a hell of a lot easier to remove and replace, too!)

Haven't you seen any big wave vids and the clips from the 90's. They are always rockin some crazy traction pads that make their entire board look like a cheese grater.

Something like this:

Although I personally prefer just wax
