I recently installed a traction pad on a new (round pin tail) board and was wondering if the extra drag produced by it could be noticeable, given that something as small as a difference in the fins...

Nothing to see here, just a bunch of couch potatoes hating on a world class skier doing his art

Ive been touring this past 3 seasons using klim pants and they still look pretty much new, even when stepping badly on them with crampons. The side zippers that let you literally get naked on hot...

not that far south (about an 8 hour drive from santiago).
in chile we call patagonia everything further south than puerto montt (13 hrs drive)

july 9-11 this year
