did you already stick it on???!?? IF NOT- its suggested that you spread the pad out a bit most pads are divided into 3 (or 4) parts. You can spread it out a little left to right- like a 1/4 or so- so that the pad kind follows the rail line.... but not on the rail line. don't go past or over the pin strip
Yeah I prepped boart and stuck it last night so I could maybe hit the water tonight after work/therapy. I chose to keep it uniform because the tail is about the same size and I wanted to keep as much of the pad on the flat of the tail. No reason other than I’m OFCD. BUT I’m glad I asked about front to rear positioning. I got to get more info about style of riding - rail or tail. I’m always alittle amazed at how much thought and brain power has been put into what’s been called the “sport of stoners” By the way I’m a front footed guy but only because it’s the way I always seem to be leaning to get anywhere and it helps me keep balance easier. Now I’m curious to see how much that changes with this bort.
Few things inspire confidence like feeling the center ridge of the pad in the arch of your foot when you are dropping in. For me it means there are about to be some buckets coming out the back of the wave. I wish we would get some damn waves already.
No word of a frikken lie, that’s EXACTLY what I thought last night during the dry run session. My brain lit up like a Christmas tree when my foot found it. And it became the go to spot every time.
Oh yeah man just wait till you are dropping in on a nice wave, take a little step back and hit the sweet spot. Awesome feeling.
You remember how it felt when you got your first bike at Christmas time? Or that baseball glove and bat? And it’s all shitty and rainy snowy snotty out and you know you have to wait? That’s how this feels hahahaha
I’ve still got my Roberts Big Boy Tri coming so I’ll rememebrr that on that one. I’m jonesing to catch my first rideable wave with this thing
