 Poster: A snowHead
|
New to boarding - first time due in 8 weeks after skiing a few years - and I'm using the husband's old board as he's progressed on to a new one now.
Already got these babies on and there's no way on earth I am trying to figure out how to get them off!!

After trying a day in a fridge with a hire board, and being completely new, I felt my back foot felt a bit unsecure when unstrapped, so we'll see how I get on. Now when I treat myself to my own board instead of his cast off, we'll see...!!

It's nothing to do with your top sheet. Learn to ride, don't buy junk, it's not the same thing. |
You an'arf talk some bs!
Topsheets can be made of many different materials including nylon, wood, fibreglass, plastic and composites. These have varying grip properties so my bamboo topsheet on my Endeavor Next grips my boot well so no need for a stomppad but my Jackpots nylon topsheet doesn't in the slightest, hence stud mat stomppad.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

<shrug>The OP asked for opinions.
If you put your boot where the binding is, you'll find better balance and a better grip than you'd get with your accessories. But I really don't care where you put your foot.

Not any more but I used to have and they do help.
Don't see the problem - who gives a f'ek what they look like and you can get some nice unobtrusive ones.
You also look pretty silly sat on top of 5 French Octogenarians that you've just skittled getting off a lift. (That happened to a mate. Not me, a mate!).

+1 for stomp pad.
Nothing is so cool as a board top packed with snow and a rider who's had a good day out.
If a stomp pad makes this more achievable, its worth having.
If you worry that having a stomp pad makes you look like a numpty on a plank, its called transference.
