Title: 2nd pad
Post by: weakdave on January 09, 2012, 10:20:44 pm

I am looking for a 2nd crash pad and saw the Simond pad Decathlon are knocking out for 70quid. Looks ok to me! Anybody used one of them? Worth a punt or has anybody got any better suggestions?

I bought one from a guy on the other channel. It seems fine, cant really go wrong for a second pad. Its fairly basic, wont fit inside another mat (as its a taco design) but is easily hung over your usual mat or carried separately. I have also taken it to font as a primary mat when there was no room in the car due to camping/surfing gear, it was fine.

Don't you? Surfing the sand dunes is a great rest day activity  :P 

Font makes a good stopover on the way south.

I did just that on my way to hossegor last summer.
