Applying traction to a wakesurf board

When we prepare a wakesurf board for shipping, the first thing we do is to apply the traction.   We basically work from the back forward and also from the center of the board outward.  If you can get the center pieces straight down the middle, the outside pieces attach easily.

We start with quality Astrodeck traction, the rear pad is the Beaker Pad, which is my favorite.

The first thing we do is roughly place the rear traction, as we said, back to front. We like this to be as far back as possible and so align trhe rear of the pad with the last horizontal surface.  This shows a rough placement without actually sticking it down.

Once the three piece tail piece is laid out, we attach the middle arch bar using the rear edges of the side pieces as an alignment point.  The side pieces are NOT attached at this point, just left loose on the surface of the wakesurf board.

Then we apply the sides of the rear traction leaving a slight gap to allow for wider feet, smaller feet don’t need this gap.

Next we roughly lay out the three front traction pads so that we have the correct distance between the front and rear traction.  Adjust it and measure the distance to make sure it’s at the correct spot.

The same process is used as with the tail, middle first trying to be careful that the traction is aligned down the center of the board and then work outward towards the rails.

After the traction is down, we move on to the fins, which we’ll show in the next post.

    The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it’ll do even better in those areas, but for now it’s a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod’s strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.

    Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It’s very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.

    First off I want to say terrific blog! I had a quick question which I’d like to ask if you don’t mind. I was interested to find out how you center yourself and clear your thoughts before writing. I have had a hard time clearing my thoughts in getting my ideas out there. I do take pleasure in writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are lost just trying to figure out how to begin. Any suggestions or tips? Thanks!

    Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass’ favor.
