In the search for a decent set of kneepads without spending hundreds of dollars I came across these. It's a kneepad off one of the clubbie nipper boards, cut in two and a bit for the kick pad on the tail. I had planned on getting some of this

to lay over these pads and do away with wax altogether but was too much of a tight arse to spend the dosh. Had my first surf on this today and it works really well. I believe the pads are available thru Shapers Australia if anyone is keen.
Very happy with the end result, even if my board does look like something out of The X Files.
Big compromise from the full deck coverage to this micko , wanna hope you got them in the right spot!
ReplyDeleteThat was the place I was going to get the EVA when i was thinking of chopping out my own pads. Ran out of time so got a couple of sets off Al at Native.
ReplyDeletePads are in the right spot Griz, just gotta make sure my knees are. And if my knees aren't on the pads, then they're missing the sweet spot of the board anyway.
ReplyDeleteYeah it's a great range of EVA stuff hey Gray.
Mick If you want to get away from wax all together look at clear grip http://www.surfmorexm.com/traction
ReplyDeleteI've been using it in conjuction with pads for last few years, can use with wax if you want but I really dont use wax anymore even where you place your hands

Cheers Stu, I'll check it out.
ReplyDeleteAll too much for me to think about in the split second it takes to get up and get going .
ReplyDeleteyes Griz, OK Griz, yes Griz, OK Griz etc etc etc ad infinitum
ReplyDeleteThe truth is STILL out there micko!
