300/440/550 Re-padding standing platform.

[mthomps]

Hi, everyone. I'm a new rider and just got my new ski a few weeks ago, a 300sx. It's underpowered of course but still fun as hell to learn to ride on. The padding material on the standing platform (i'm not even sure the actual name for it) is all ripped up and every time I fail to get up its mostly due to not being able to keep my feet on due to the large chunks of material missing. I've been searching for what to use to re do this but have had no luck. I don't need anything fancy, just a cheap material that grips to glue on so I can keep practicing! I'm riding a 300 so my budget is limited. Sorry if this has been asked a million times, but I don't know what to search for.

Check out Big Lots or Harbor Freight, they have anti-fatigue mats in dark gray that can be cut to fit, Big Lots also has anti-fatigue mats that come in a big roll, its gray also and is EVA foam just like Hydroturf, about $18.00 a roll, below is a pic of the anti-fatigue mat in the roll.

Awesome. Thanks for the help man. BTW love your 300 build thread. I'm researching now to hopefully put a 550 in mine for next season.
