Its all good dude, I'll help you without being a smartass! Try the triple 8 slide gloves, I like them alot. They have wraps around the wrist to add support and you can choose between pucks or bars for your fingers.

Good call. Here's mine, with the help of some Eastside screw-on palmpads, $2.99 Home Depot gardening gloves, and Delrin tubing for the fingers (which can still curl enough to easily grip and carry a board.)

None the less, those are some good looking gloves EC! Props to you on those. Where did you get the tubes?

Mudslides are great. But I'm not gonna lie, the new S9 gloves look pretty nice too......

....for $70

You can make them. Once you start making them, they get easier to make and you start to understand the different materials you can use and their effects.

I made mine with work gloves I had, cutting board from the kitchen, and epoxy. Just rough up one side so the epoxy can grip it better.

They aren't the best but they work and where as cheap as you can go... They have methods in which you sew on velcro and ####.

I have some corian I'm planning on using to make gloves once these fail. I'm gonna use industrial velcro and kevlar thread. I have seat belt straps I'm gonna use for a wrist support.

I'm in no hurry. I'm waiting to find the right set of gloves. My current ones are still holding up.

Just make some cheapo's until you advance to the higher quality gloves.

Just ordered the new gloves from Lush, they look pretty sweet plus there coming from england so only 2.99 shipping which is alot less than shippng from US.

from what i hear the lush ones are veryy good. I just got the landyachtz ones which are a bit less and easier to get and I like them a lot as well. Depends if you want the finger pucks or not.
