track pad on a mini simmons

You're probably not getting radical/vertical on a wave with that board. I think a stomp pad would be a waste.

 

Full deck pad

 

No pad on mine...

 

Stringerless? Or opaque tint...?

 

whoa wtf, no herro treade? GFY.

 

P.s: make sure to put pad under best foot.

 

I tend to dig the ball of my back foot into the deck, so I put a pad on every board I own...even my mini-sim. In my case, it's really more for padding than traction.

Problem with extra wide-tailed boards is actually finding a pad that fits it, without looking dwarfed...or a pad that's square-tailed, as opposed to pulled-in/tapered. It may not be worth the search if you don't absolutely require traction (like me).

If your mini-sim's tail is ultra wide, you may need to buy longboard traction...and possibly do a little trimming to make it fit well.

 

Mini simmons are a glorified boogie board.
Cease and desist acquiring one!! You will be entering a lower hindu caste!!!!

 

I feel like my foot needs to be as far back as possible on my 5'2" mini to do turns the way I want. I tried without the pad and it's night and day with foot placement. This pad from sticky bumps spreads out wide and has a small kick that lets me know exactly where my back foot is. Works great.

 

Yo Z-gaf I have the same pad on my 5'5. Only one I could find that was wide enough ha.

 

I would put traction pads from nose to tail, and few on the bottom. Just don't cover the salt life sticker.

 

I don't get your avatar. It looks like you're doing a push up with a boogie board under your left hand.

 

Just an ugly turn on a 5'9 fishy shape.

 

Yes it was, and I was there. HAd some real nice waves, which were, btrw, not predicted in size and quality by either SI or MSW. Surprise!!! That meant nobody out.....but me.....aww shucks gee golly!!!!

 

There it is. I couldn't see your leg in the low res avatar version.

 

one handed push ups while surfing = SI cred. everyone knows that.

 

Hell yea! Even Das Shredmachine couldn't do those.
