I've had only bad luck with Joe's suggested spray on adhesive. Any good mineral based contact cement should work fine. I always have a can of Weldwood (do not buy the water based version) around for applying pads to all my boards.

I WANT TO PLAY!

It looks like a trip to HB is not going to happen for me as I'm still in the office therefore, I have two questions one for Joe and one for all the NorCal guys. Can I purchase raffle tickets by credit card without being present? If so, are any of the NorCal guys attending the contest willing to be m...

kneeboard gods...I think they are watching

In the past month I have twice lost a fin out in big Ocean Beach, yet on each occasion after initially relieving my discontent in a flying flurry of obscenities I settled down and decided to stay out and enjoy the surf, one fin be damned. This proved the right decision as on both occasions after rid...

elevate, ice 20 minutes every two hours and take some ibuprofen for at least the first 48 hrs. should have iced as soon as you returned home.

if it doesn't start feeling better within two days see a doctor.

I'm not a doctor but these are my suggestions based on previous experience.

Suddenly Unoccupied Projectile (SUP) I'm sure we all have stories about those. First wave of the day on Saturday at Sloat, peak coming right to a friend and I sitting away from others. SUP starts making a b-line at an angle right at us, from at least 20' away, paddles onto the shoulder and drops in....

don't want to be the new Bad Vibes Bob...but these kooks

I'm finding myself growing ever more frustrated surfing with those I find in the water. The last two times I've been out I've watched, shoulder hopping, droppins, board bailing in front of others, in position no-take-offs, etc etc... Saturday morning at Ocean Beach started the weekend of KOOK but ye...

Willy, I may also be in SC camping for the long weekend. Not sure where I'll be yet but it looks like some swell may be on its way from Alaska.

However, possible rain on Friday is putting a damper on potential plans. Not that I care but the girl I'll be leaving on the beach might.
