Good for bridal kite beginners.
Will keep the dum asses heads safe from kites that will not deliver 100% safe depower, that is when tangled bridals become dangerous. We all know, no option for depower, scary!!!

New material my arse......

When i was a kid we used to call it silly putty.

They've just died it orange and given it a modern name.

if you completely cover yourself in it, then you will have no reason to be offended when you get called a gumby!!

new? we've had this stuff for 2 years back in the UK... its pretty amazing, they make a beanie hat that works nicely as a hard hat when you take a fall. good for snowboarding and stuff..
But its not really designed for kiteboarding. It takes a solid hit before the D3O becomes hard, giving the protection, so its better for snowboarding, kitelandboarding etc etc. stuff where your actually going to hit something solid.

i have them on my board i have destroyed my lf luxury and comp laces.
The d30 pads are very nice, and i have a extremely stiff board.
Grip the feet well. however the plastic around the bolt holes is quite brittle and snapped pretty quick.
im changing my board up this year as i had enough of uk waters with it but the d30 pads helped.

p.s The guy who invented it actually kite surf's , and so does his wife as i taught her :D
