Anybody have actual pictures of the inside of the hold after adding padding and pre-turf. I was looking at some threads and even the turfing with out seams thread doesn't show how far in you guys are adding padding.

put as much as you need, there is no standard.

Hmmm, trying to figure out the top padding, should have made it more clear in the first post. I'm sure you guys aren't going all the way around with padding.

i could of been more clear too. you can add as much is needed for you to get a sung fit to your foot. you can sand it to shape it as well. account for turn and your riding shoes.

Lol, I got the thickness part on top, just not sure how far on the sides I want/need it to go.

These are from my q8. 8mm underpaying on the entire foothold.
None on the bottom
And 2 layers in the tray
With turf it's gonna be nice. And snug. Hope it helps

I know . You think it's bad without any under my foot. I never had a problem with that. I've always preferred the tops being nice and soft. Foot is way more sensitive on the top

My last holds were very comfy and kicked in solid. 1" on top and bottom. And used 1/4" on the sides, then turf. Not much of a gap where the toes were, so i kicked in hard, but once kicked in it was very solid. I will say though it really helped my riding. Felt more confident, which got me to try more stuff. Just felt good being locked in. And still was able to get out easily when I needed to bail.

I ran a ski with no padding on the bottom and it was fine but that was a fairly mild ski and the jumps off even the big wakeboard boats got me maybe 4-5ft off the water. The higher you get, the more it starts to wear on you and the lighter the hull, the harder it hits the water because it has less weight and you stop faster when you land. I took a ski to Daytona 2 years ago with only 1/4" of padding on the bottom and I could barely walk at the end of each day. If I land flat with my current stunt hull using 1.25" of padding after a big jump, it's not comfortable. I'd probably break my heel if that was no padding.
Running shoes are better than wrestling shoes but I don't like wearing running shoes while riding.

I just did one layer of 8mm on the tops of my holds. Haven't even ridden the ski yet and already wish I had a little more.

more the better, I use 1" on the rear of the tray and 1/4 inside the footholds and on top of the rails.
