    Great cork deckpad for RF!

    I had this pad stashed away for something special and lost it. Six months ago, when I got my Hellfire, it magically turned up, and has been the best deckpad I have ever owned. Matches pretty nice too...Six months and no peeling, seems lighter than normal pads too. Was kinda bummed when first looking at it, that the arch was just a short "bubble", but found it to feel more precise in knowing where my sweet spot was exactlywavetribefw.jpg. Made from cork by Wave Tribe, recycled plastic leash too. Derek Dodds at Wave Tribe is a super nice guy and makes really quality hemp boardbags, leashes, travel gear, and accessories.

    Yea man, the cork pads in general have a nice feel.

    I got a few from OAM, good stuff.
    5.10 Futura - What else do I need?
    5.5 Baked Potato - Well ok, I need this.
    5.11 El Fuego - Oh ok, just one more.

    I had one from OAM and it did feel good but it got saturated with water over time from surf upon surf and then not drying out properly in the board bag, and then peeled off piece by piece. I don't think I'd ever get another one.
