Just set up my Naish 9'6" with the above set up and thought some might be interested in different pad options. The bulk of the set up is the SUP pad set which retails for $129 with the tail pad going for $60. More expensive than the Naish and the JL by a little but it's nice.

Paddled it this morning and the traction is the best I've paddled on yet. Thinner than the Jimmy Lewis and Naish pads so impact protection probably isn't as good but the thin feeling is sweet. Somehow feels a bit more direct and crisp but then that's probably just because I had some fun waves this morning.

Could be time for a Casso deck grip review?



Cheers,

Sam.
