    i say go with a tail pad. lots of ways, i have always just used a standard 2 or 3 piece and spaced it out.

    We use longboard pads and cut them to fit the tails of our demoes...

    Yeah, my main reason for getting one in just to stop me jamming my knee in the deck to duck dive the thing, also to know my foot is in the spot. I've got a pad here but I was thinking of saving it for the Minnie Driver.
    I'll probably stick something on there. Wish I had the spud now... web cam looks like thigh to waist high peelers with an offshore wind, no one in. I'd be loving that!

    I went down in the end last night. It was infact waist to chest, pretty weak and not quite enough to get my Spitfire going apart from the odd gem that came through every 20 minutes or so, even without a leash... Would have been muchos fun on the Potato. Instead I spent most of the session watching the longboarders catching waves! Redemption will come soon!

    You are going to love the SP! Just remember it's really fast when you first step on the tail so hold on ;-)
