Super Jet Hydro turf for SUP on superjet

[alberta guy]

Has anyone used the SUP version of of hydro turf on their skis? It's softer and less durable according to the hydro turf website but I'm wondering if anyone has tried it and what they thought about it. How long it lasted ect?

Why would you put something on your ski that is less durable?

I personally only like the molded turf. cut style turf only last about one season for me before it wears threw.

If its softer, I would assume it would be lighter. The guys chasing a weight number could save a few ounces by using it on their rails.

Haven't used it on my ski, but have the SUP turf on my SUP and it doesn't make two seasons. And that's just surfing barefoot on it... I can't imagine how quick it would wear with what a ski goes through.

Get molded diamond and a pair of shoes and call it a day. Barefoot riding is just stupid IMO, and that's the only reason I can see you wanting softer turf. Ever since wearing wrestling shoes I will never ride barefoot again.
If you're worried about chewing up your ankles and the lower part of your leg, wear some kind of sleeve.
Maybe you could try SUP on the sides, but if you have footholds, you need molded diamond inside of them because kicking in with shoes takes quite a toll on the turf.

I very rarely wear my riding booties. All the places usually launch from have lush grass and rock free sand to walk across. Don't have footholds either. So no need to wear anything.

I just put hydro turf padding underneath my turf. I took a whiz wheel and shaved the edges smooth so the turf sticks down on it well. It's nice and soft, especially when the sun beats on it for a bit.
