    i have a 5 10 jc el quattro and i have a stomp pad on it.. its basically just prefrence but since quads are used for smaller waves i suggest a stomp pad so you get better performance :)

    Do whatever you want man, it's your board :) Joking aside though, go with the kickpad.

    Do what you prefer. Me, I would go with wax but I do not like tailpads. Either way is fine as long as you like it.

    if i were you i would smother it with melted butter before you go out to help with the traction you are looking for. thats what i usually do.

    i have a 510 wrv quad that has a pad...if it is just a shortboard there put a bad on...but if its a retro fish quad no pads good...and quads tend to do better in bigger hallow waves because they hold better...not small waves
