Pyramid Studs Snowboard Stomp Pad

As long as you put some time in prepping this product the right way it is the best stomp pad you can get! It took me some time to figure out the way I wanted the diamonds placed on my board, but once I did I was extremely happy with it. Follow the directions it comes with! I ended up buying 2 sets of these due to the type of look I wanted. I followed the directions exactly as they stated. I used a ruler and pencil and stenciled out the design layout I wanted and then placed each piece on my board. It came out amazing! They are perfect. They sit up nice and high to allow maximum grip on your board without allowing snow to interfere. Even sticky snow doesn’t stand a chance. This is without a doubt the best stomp pad I have ever had, and it’s the best looking. As long as you follow the directions, heat your board and the diamonds with a blow dryer, clean your board with rubbing alcohol, and allow 24 hours for diamonds to cure with weight added, it will last! I cleaned the board with rubbing alcohol. I drew out a grid where I wanted the diamonds placed on my board. I used a hair dryer to heat the board and diamonds. I then placed each diamond in place after heating them one by one. I then put a piece of wood on top of them that covered them all. On top of that wood I placed weights that totaled 95lbs. I let it sit for 24 hours before I removed it. These things are stuck on for good! They actually feel like they’re part of the board. Highly recommended! I added a picture which shows the grid I drew. Just remember...if you want the most out of this stomp pad you must put the time and effort into prepping it the right way.

Quick and easy application, adds a nice touch to my board. Love the simple look to these, and that you can apply them however you want. The review pictures sold me when I saw how others applied theirs. So here's mine :)

It did not occur to me how tricky they would be to install if you are OCD like myself. I had to use rulers and weights to try to get them lined up just right. That's just me. I have them placed across the middle of my board and one more for visual effect elsewhere. They work great. I have had NO ISSUES with my boot slipping no matter where I place it. And they look pretty cool. Rather than a big chunk of Plastic/rubber in one spot.

Stomp pads are not cool, I know. Could I get by without one? Yes. But after riding 2 seasons without one I have gone back to using a stomp pad. I like the ease they provide, and it’s nice to scrape the snow off my boot. These studs allow you to use only as many as you want, and you can place them for the best integration with your board’s graphics. Yes, stomp pads are lame. These studs are more discrete (thus less lame) than other stomp pads. Highly recommend for intermediate or better riders looking for a little bit of traction without looking like too much of a noob on the mountain.

A previous stomp pad fell off my snowboard despite me following all of its instructions on setting/heating, etc. That stomp pad was a silicone one with a honeycomb shape. This time around, I aimed for a more peg-like design but the material it would be made of was still in the air. I came across these Dakine Pyramid Studs and other similar metal studs across other brands. Despite all the other shapes (stars, circles, whathaveyou), these studs seemed to be the tallest and therefore could be gripped beyond the snow. Upon testing for several weeks now, these studs have sure proven themselves and have eased my ski lift troubles. The metal seems to have a better grip than the silicone pad I had, and the studs lay above most snow cover. The only problem is that they are not connected in the neat 3x3 pattern in the picture, and all have to be laid on individually. Because of this, my studs don't all line up and I actually only put on 8 of the studs and left the middle right stud off so I could position it closer to my back foot. The metal color/material also goes nicely with any board design, and it looked nice on my mainly black decked board. They may also be a tad smaller than as they appear, but its all based on how you want to position the studs. Great purchase all around. I would definitely use a method of head to keep these on when setting, and apply pressure for a few hours with a heavy object. PROS: Good grip Subtle, not too flashy Goes with any deck design Customizable upon spacing CONS: Can be applied unevenly Smaller than expected I'm a medium-skilled snowboarder on a Burton Genie. I've been snowboarding for about 3 years, and all within the slopes of Vermont. The snow in the Northeast is more ice than pow, but it can turn into mashed potatoes in the springtime. These studs can survive a bulk of any type of snow.

These work a lot better than I thought. They help so much getting off the lift. I love how they’re not very obnoxious and actually add to the look of my board.

Work as intended. Only downside is destroying your board if you ever decide to take them off. More of a testament for the glue holding these little suckers on.

Awesome snowboard stomp pad studs. It took a couple of hours to prep/clean, heat, align, and install each stud, but I was able to create a design I like and am very happy with. There is just 3M tape on the underside of the studs, which is actually very strong if installed correctly. After installing each stud I stood on it for a few minutes while wearing a boot to press it into the snowboard, then after all of them were installed I placed a heavy box on it for 24 hours. The stomp studs lasted a week of abuse in the Rockies in a blizzard, sunshine, and overcast conditions. They definitely saved me a couple times when traversing and getting off a full quad. Highly recommend if you have the patience to install.

Ho aspettato un anno a fare la recensione per essere davvero sicuro che potessero resistere nel tempo. Vi dico che la qualità è ottima. Una volta fissate a dovere non si staccano più! Se le dovete rimuovere esiste il modo corretto come da istruzioni.

Despues de un uso considerable no se han despegado y sujetan la bota muy bien cuando estas esperando el remonte. Volveria a comprarlas.

Für mein Snowboard gekauft und absolut zufrieden. Die DAKINE Stomp-Pad Pyramid Studs lassen sich individuell anordnen und bieten dadurch volle Gestaltungsfreiheit. Sie sehen nicht nur stylisch aus, sondern sorgen auch für sicheren Halt beim Fahren. Die halten sehr gut, selbst bei Kälte und Nässe. Insgesamt ein sehr praktisches Zubehör mit toller Optik.

Excellent grip and glue. They also look very stylish on my snowboard.

As they're all individual studs, applying them nicely is a bitt more of a gob than your standard peel and stick stomp pad, but I used the thermoplastic tray they came in to keep them in line for application ad that worked a treat. Really good feel underfoot; nice and secure.
