It comes right in front of your back binding, that means in between the bindings. First thing you need to do is mark the spot where you will put it. Stomp pad comes with a layer of strong glue on the bottom side. On the other hand – some people say that stomp pad is a sign of a beginner and only sissies use them :). If you are experienced and have total control over your board you can do all that without the pad.

It helps you control the board when your back feet is out of the binding. It’s very useful for beginners and not so experienced riders. With stomp pad we can even make some easy turns, use the edge of the snowboard, stop when we need to without wiping out etc… Who should use it? Because the stomp pad is generally made of rubber (and has anti skid profile) and so are the soles of our snowboard boots, they stick together much better than snowboard boots and snowboard surface. So when your back foot is unbuckled like, when you go on a ski lift, get off the ski lift or just traverse a flat section of the slope, you put our back foot on the stomp pad. Snowboard surface is slippery, especially when it is wet from snow. Snowboard stomp Pad is a rubbery or foamy (or whatever material that has high friction) pad that is attached to the top of the snowboard so you can stand on it, when your back foot is not strapped into the snowboard binding. What is a stomp pad, why do we use it, where do we put it and how do we attach it to the snowboard.

If you have troubles riding your snowboard with your back foot out of the binding when you get off the lift, then you should get a stomp pad.
