Pads on a wedge?

[ztanner25]

for pad setup i like it in between the first and second pics. spaced out just a little bit, but straight at the same time. in other words, straight like the first pic but spaced like the second pic.

[joemotocross06]

ya it came really quick.. ordered it monday thank you skimshop!!!!!

i heart skimshop

[joemotocross06]

Pads on a wedge?

ya ill prob have it for at least a year.. dont get to the beach often and i wouldnt need anything more for a lake

[Rockporter9]

I would set up the pads like in the second pic

[ztanner25]

Pads on a wedge?

yeah thats a good point....

you should just save those pads for when u get a nicer board. u dont really need pads on a wedge because ur not gonna be riding any huge waves and are gonna want something better after a while. i know ur prob dieing to put them on but i'm telling u you'll be happier if u just save them for ur next board.

Or he can buy new pads when he gets a new board?

[joemotocross06]

Your welcome. Thanks again for the support. The board looks sweet, good choice.

welcome.. and even though these are my first pads.. i would prefer them over any of the others based on design alone.. and they feel realyyyy good.. im just concerned about breaking the little peice off by the black skimshop logo

[joemotocross06]

btw should i leave that in there or take it off and put it somewhere else??

[brett00]

congrats on the new board.

[pbjef99]

congrats o yea if you do put the pads on wait awhile to use the board

[joemotocross06]

ok is there any preperation i need to do.. its not gonna be in use till the 30 so the padshave like a week to sit

[SkimShop]

You shouldnt have any problems with that part of the pad. Usually it is a good idea to let pads for maybe 12-24 hours. I think 9 days will do the trick!

[joemotocross06]

ok thanks!

[Warriors]

Sick board man!!! I like the pads on the third pic, but I'll have to go for second one!

[joemotocross06]

ya im gonna have them streight but spaced out like ztanner said.. now if only i can decide where to put the stickers!! lol and wether or not to take the little black peices out.. hmmm decisions decisions

[Rockporter9]

you should make your old board into a coffee table

[vicskim76]

is the bottom white or the same color blue?

[joemotocross06]

the bottoms white.. and im gonna use my old board as a sand skimmer.. and ill use it in the creek.. my zap baby isnt gonna ever even see that nasty creek water in its life.. well.. not until its first scratch anyway lmao

[joemotocross06]

tha coffee table idea is a good one tho lol.. maybe after its retired

[ztanner25]

yeah that is a good idea about the coffee table.

[xghstx]

nice set up. i had pads on my wedge until i got my new board. i'd leave the black pieces in and i prefer the first pad setup because i like my tails pads to be in one piece.

[vicskim76]

i think the pad set-up kinda has to match up with how big your feet are. mine arent very big so i spread 'em just a lil bit. if you have bigger feet you might want to spread them out more. just a thought

[beachbum]

the blue of that board is amazing. so vivid. its gunna look sick with those white pads too. thumbs up.

[OtotheZ]

second pic looks nicer.. but find out what feels best for you. I have my setup spaced out like the second pic only with beaker pads

[joemotocross06]

well their it is.. i wished i could have stuck the pads on there straighter.. but i dont think its soo bad..

what do ya think??

[joemotocross06]

btw windex makes your board soooo shiney!!!

[beachbum]

i see you dropped your arch bar a few inches since the layout. i was gunna reccomend it.

[joemotocross06]

ya.. its just a little bit to the left.. which kinda puts my foot positioning off a bit (regular here) but i guess it wont make tooo big of a diff
