Is this thread really still going on?

Should have been "stomped" out long ago.

Sigh.

Just go ride.

I have the EXACT same answer.

This should have been the end of this thread.

I used a stomp pad my first year. I thought I needed one because my son's used one. After I bought my first new board and took it up without a stomp pad (forgot to get one) I found I didn't need one.

I just got a gopro for Christmas! I'll mount it on my helmet and look lame I guess.

I don't really care. My wife can't hit the slopes and wants to enjoy watching our kids have fun and progress so it's worth it if it makes the wife happy.

Follow cams are rad, dad.

I just want to say this will be my first year despite having my board for 3 years now, I'm headed out tomorrow to get my boots and was thinking about getting a stomp pad.

Funny reading all the pages over a stomp pad.

I took mine off and can't notice any difference. But top of board is not slippery anyway.

I have a slick top sheet and no stomp pad. I either have good balance or I'm just awesome.

I ended up ordering a black stomp pad that's modular, my top sheet is slick and I'm a noob I suspect I will fall a few times

If you think they are bulky or ugly just go get some sex wax and do it like you would a surfboard
