Yeah man. Cmon guys. Tail pads for guns? Nooooooo
Ehhh you could make at least two copies of the mini-padillac I just ordered out of Nate Nate's gun lol. Also, big-huev surfborting legend Pete Mel seems to be a champion of the gun tail/deck pad:


Make of that useless piece of trivia what you will :-D

for those with Mini Padis - if I were trying to tune a custom one for big but slopey Southern California wintertime waves with lots of water moving, would you increase width or thickness at stock sizes or both?

Not sure i like the mini padi for slopey.
it seems tuned for more curve in the face (pulled, foiled tail, rocker etc).
Personal preference of course but I would think of other choices for those conditions.
But if you were customizing I would probably go thicker not wider.

Or... go wider on a custom (regular) padillac.
I could see that being fun at big and slopey if you were committed to the padi DNA (See above Portugal guy)
