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 height is supposed to have an effect on your paddling/surfing speed.
While paddling it is under water and while its on rail it still seems to come in contact with enough water to slow you down, does anyone have some "empirical" evidence for this or has felt it slowing the board down?
