Is it easier to use a skimboard with a traction pad installed?

Answer by  Turkwork (1150)

The trick to skim boarding is not how slick the board is but getting skilled at skimming on the water at just the right time so I'd say no.

This depends on whether or not the user learned to use a skimboard with traction pads installed. Those who did might find the pads necessary, while others find them distracting.
