tractioon pad on 7'8'' fun board

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.

r u surfin high waves

 

u surf winter?

 

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

 

don't think its going to be that big of a help on a funboard. the pad over the fins is really a shortboard concept. with a longer board you have to move around too much for a pad to be effective. stick with wax or switch to a shortboard.

 

wait till a traction pad comes on whiskey. there is no use spending around 30 bucks on one

 

Why would you need a traction pad on a 7'8". You're never going to be that far back on the board.

 

I'm with pumpmaster...no need for it on that board.

 

it would work on that board but retro purists would insist that you should ride it with wax the way they did in the 70s.
