    I just bought a 6'6" step up, should i just go with wax or should i put a traction pad on it? What do you all prefer?

    A long arch bar is nice because you will move your feet around a bit.

    Hot glue the foam and the strap to your step up
    It looks like it should be for your knees but trust me it's not

    Stomping pads, front & rear. Gaff will be rolling in his barrels at this.

    Buy at least three 'stomp' pads and spread them out over the whole length of board.

    That's what all the guys at the Belmar do.

    You need the traction when charging 23ft
