No Pads?

With the averge age of the kneeboarder these days this area should be used to post issues on health matters (surfer's ear, knee surgery, stretches, etc).

FOUL!!!!!!

That red board in the back ground has a pad and do I see a (god forbid) "kook" cord???? Call 911 and get that pic to photo shop. 8) 8)

That should be enough to let Geno back..... he's come so far. :lol: :lol: :lol:

That board in the background with the pad and cord was probably just laying there, probably belongs to somebody visiting from outta town, yea, thats it, thats the ticket. Hey Bob, say hi to Geno for me.

I think you all have it wrong...

Geno is promoting good dental hygiene. Those aren't cords, they're floss.

I believe he's pointing out the desired gumline.

(tongue in cheek... caressing said molar... Trowt-sized molar! :wink: )


Seriously... Geno will be back. Proposals are in route that should help.

That said, I think this goes back to Albert stirring the pot a few pages back... ala 'what would Geno say?' It's pretty minor, really, and a pretty funny response.

IMHO, let it ride as good fun... which is the sense I get. Besides good-humored responses, I'm hoping that Geno here has the last word... the bird!

Maybe instead of WWJD, we should have WWGD? (tongue in cheek again!)

Never go without them again!!!

I use the bubble pads of parkes on my blast but found they got slippery when sun block got on them (duh) :roll: so I coated them all with rubber cement, and they work fine.

New Freak Neil Luke board has parkes grooved or pads, which I like better, excellent density and grip.

No wet suits here, pads increase the surface area of the contact, so better grip.

In regards to the deck getting slippery w/ sunscreen. I've found the answer to that, and at the same time have made a fashion statement. I apply the softest wax to my knees before going out and reapply as needed. Wax on, Wax off.

I assume most you guys don't shave your legs. Not that there's anything wrong with that if you do, though. :oops:

Anyway, because I do shave my legs my skin gets dried out quickly, hence lotion is often needed after a shower to avoid the alligator skin look. Nothing more surprising though than dropping into a wave only to slide off the board like sh*t through a goose. :shock:

If I've forgotten to soap my legs before surfing (which removes the lotion), I'll grab a handful of sand at the water's edge and rub 'em down from knee to ankle.

And it doesn't matter if its pads or no pads, it's still damn slippery.

A little wax does help too, so long as there's no lotion on there, otherwise even the wax won't stick.

:D

Hey Darcy, I avoid that problem by shaving the night before. Lotion or no lotion, salt water burns like a bitch on freshly shaved legs! :shock:
Btw, my new Romo (first kneeboard) is being delivered today, deckpad and all. :D Allison
