lmao...

pads are pads.

**MaStEr IrOc** · 10-13-2009, 10:19 PM

@ skim4life;

how do you put your pads on the square? its s textured deck, im not sure if you do it the same way as a glossy board. just sand and apply?

same way as you do a textured deck. sand, clean and apply. the square is textured

**selvaskim** · 10-13-2009, 10:55 PM

no need to sand your square. apply traction and go get urrl

astros are much softer and better imo, and a bit of glue takes your reason why astros sucks away

**alexM.** · 10-14-2009, 09:12 AM

you dont need to sand your board before putting traction on a square. jsut clean the area and slap the suckers on.

**Jonathan** · 10-14-2009, 09:53 AM

ya astros are the way to go and the new freaks eww

**andyman06** · 10-14-2009, 05:56 PM

astros are the légit!!!!

**alexM.** · 10-15-2009, 08:36 AM

no, i do not. but i have two of their boards and know from experience.

**Skim4Lfe1988** · 10-15-2009, 08:43 AM

Square David and I were talking about it and he told me it would be a good idea to sand and clean first before applying. This is a rule of thumb for any textured board. I don't know why you wouldn't for these specific ones.

**alexM.** · 10-15-2009, 08:44 AM

thats cool man, more power to you.

I asked the same question. Pads will stay on if you apply them but in the long run, they wouldn't stay son. It's a texture deck, so it'll be almost like putting scotch tape on sandpaper. I'd still sand it down till it's smooth so at least, the adhesive has that bald space to adhere better. Otherwise, it's whatever, your board, your pads..

**Skim4Lfe1988** · 10-15-2009, 08:48 AM

it was common sense to me to go out and get sanding + cleaning supplies as soon as I ordered this board because I knew it was textured.

**alexM.** · 10-15-2009, 08:56 AM

yup.

**Jerk-Off-Master** · 10-15-2009, 11:36 AM

OAM

**The Dtrick** · 10-15-2009, 11:44 AM

Theres this saying that OAM stands for Off in A Minute.

but now that they support skimming i wouldnt mind supporting them

**REIGNSUPREME814** · 10-15-2009, 03:54 PM

yo Skim4Lfe1988 that square is sexy! im looking into them, what size is it and how much do you weigh? reason i ask is cause i can get a used L but im only 145 so i think it may end up being too big for me

**MaStEr IrOc** · 10-15-2009, 04:07 PM

I want to know what's good for me as well. I'm riding like a 48" board right now (really old) and I am 5'7" and 160 lb

i would say your def too big for that board, I have a 51" thats still a little small for me. if youve been skimming for a while then you can usually get away with smaller boards but if youre not too good then you should go bigger for sure

**willymo** · 10-15-2009, 06:12 PM

i got pictures of whats completed of my board

**SteveTaylor** · 10-15-2009, 08:57 PM

OAM's are completely different than what they used to be. New ownership and completely new product. OAM stands for Paulo Pad + Arch baby

its a medium and im 6'1 165. doesn't matter what size you get, it depends on your preference, if you want something that is going to float more with not being able to turn very well. get a bigger board, if you want float but manuverability get a board that is smaller... ive been riding my buddies medium square for a while and I seem to have much more control on the medium than my large board. I would most likely suggest a small square or any other small board. I wouldnt suggest anything larger than that for your weight

**REIGNSUPREME814** · 10-16-2009, 06:34 AM

Yeah that's what I was thinking it's just hard for me to pass up such a good deal but I know that if I got the large I would end up not liking how big it is. Thanks for the info dude and have fun with that sick ass board

Yea, at the moment I ride a Zap Large Wedge and it's 48". Yet the size chart on Square, recommends, I'd ride a S which is 50". I don't know if I wanna go larger, but the XS small is 47". Which should I stick to?

**matty kerns** · 10-16-2009, 07:42 AM

oAm steped there game up a shitload...
i jsut got the paulo back pad and long arch combo in the store i work at..holy shit sex

**Luff** · 10-16-2009, 07:46 AM

id say if youre not sure go up in size rather than down (especially if youre still learnin and all that). you can learn to maneuver a bigger board but you cant add more float to a board thats too small. i say go for the small.

plus 47" is a small ass board.
