I guess it's a bit like running in bare feet for 6 months and then trying to run in joggers. I follow jaffas theory with wax on the rails and the gloves don't slip off it is more a matter of a different feel through the gloves and the booties. I think my trouble with the speed of my popping up at the moment is probably just me getting used to wearing gloves and booties again. They certainly give you a good workout ( apparently some of the surf club competitors use them in training to increase fitness ) I like to wear gloves for warmth anyway so for me they provide a dual purpose. But after my trial the other day with and then without gloves I am converted to being one of the webbed gloved ones. Īs eonscar points out they do get waterlogged and add weight to your arms so that could also be an explanation. Looks can be pretty important in the surf world.

The gloves do look a bit different and are pretty hard to miss so maybe that is why they aren't used that much. I often surf with a bloke a bit older then you and he never ceases to amaze me. 3 hour sessions are a pretty good effort for a mature aged person such as yourself.

When almost dry pick the Shoe Goo patch with a cocktail stick or two to create a spikey texture. let dry for a few minutes and apply some Shoe Goo in a shape of your choice. sand the rail lightly where you place your palms, pour really hot water again to wash clean. If your hands slip off the board while popping up during a session simply go home and: Pour just boiled water over the areas of contact on the rails to remove grease, wax and salt. gloves are excellent for training or as a noob assist / bit of fun but I find they are of no real use to my kind of surfing (anymore). The power thing was replaced by skill.Īny neoprene glove is hard to push under the water because it is buoyant, yet it acts as a weight when out of the water due to its’ own mass and that of any water in the glove hence gloves being as tiring as they are. When I could take off under the lip I never used them again and ended up catching waves without paddling at all. I used to use webbed gloves as a novice – good for power but tiring.
