Our friend Patrick in Germany has a Blog and recently he used his new Victoria board to demonstrate how to put on traction. Check out his Blog at http://www.inlandskimgermany.de/2011/11/waveskim-how-to-do-traction-pad-on-the-board/ Times in Germany are cold but Patrick and his crew brave the harsh weather for some good Flatland, Ocean, and Kite skimboarding. More power to you!
