Sometimes the front foot especially needs to come unplanted to save the knee.How so?
No wax in between front and back pads?yeah i do it on most of my boards now. sick of wax going soft and melting in summer. i like the smoother front pads like o&e, CI or octopuss. I don't think it grips anymore than a good wax job to be honest.
ive got a roll of gryptalite to try on my next board
no need on a shortboard. the furthest forward my back foot would go is butting up against the front of the pad, and theres enough traction doing that for situations where my foot is that far forward. On a step up i have a little strip that goes in front of the pad and that gives a bit more coverage(disclaimer - my surfing does not involve full rotors or anything remotely like that where you might need to bring it forward.)No wax in between front and back pads?
My nipples have been toughened up from years of BDSM.If you ever wear booties, front traction sucks because you'll trip on it getting up.
If you ever trunk it, front traction sucks because it will rip your nipples off.
They're not that tough.My nipples have been toughened up from years of BDSM.
Not my proudest wank.
What did your grandparents do to your nipples!?!?!I remember being a grom and using a front deck patch with arch bar, then visiting my grandparents on Oahu. If that doesn't toughen up your nipples, then nothing.
