    has to be three piece so i can widen it out and take it al the way the rail so i don't beat the rails up so much (they still get beat up though)

    if you have traction on your long board/nose rider please kill yourself or just buy a sup

    I only buy the kinda without holes. The ball of my foot tends to find them and digs into the board=pain. I always put mine down with the pieces pushed together as tight as possible so the ball of my foot doesn't touch the glass.

    I didn't like the cheap ones from china... So I only go with dakine now... After trying others I am totally sold on dakine pads. They feel the best- have perfect traction and last for ever.

    Tho - I really like the look of that one that you posted Tard, you gotta let us know how it works out.

    Creatures of leisure, no arch, average kick. 2 piece or whatever's cheap. I can't stand arches.

    thats one downside of carrying it all the way to the rail. that edge right on the rail is prime target for peeling up.

    thats why little baby jesus invented 3m super 77

    On the 5'8 two nights ago I had a wide stance on a drop from about stomach high and reached my back foot way against the back part of the tail pad. The part that kicks up. Hadn't ever really done that before since I like the feel of it more forward on the pad on 5'10s and up. This was different though and more like a skate as I gripped the hell out of the tail by doing so. I liked it. Interested to see how this fares on a better than mushy wave.

    though the tastes may be similar, they are very different chemically. Something about covalent bonds and shi* like that

    I like flat pads. Currently my favorite is the 2 piece flat Famous pads. Da Kine pads' adhesive sucks so you always have to keep a can of Super 77 on hand for those.
