Dakine Pyramid Studs

As long as you put some time in prepping this product the right way it is the best stomp pad you can get! It took me some time to figure out the way I wanted the diamonds placed on my board, but once I did I was extremely happy with it. Follow the directions it comes with! I ended up buying 2 sets of these due to the type of look I wanted. I followed the directions exactly as they stated. I used a ruler and pencil and stenciled out the design layout I wanted and then placed each piece on my board. It came out amazing! They are perfect.They sit up nice and high to allow maximum grip on your board without allowing snow to interfere. Even sticky snow doesn’t stand a chance. This is without a doubt the best stomp pad I have ever had, and it’s the best looking. As long as you follow the directions, heat your board and the diamonds with a blow dryer, clean your board with rubbing alcohol, and allow 24 hours for diamonds to cure with weight added, it will last!I cleaned the board with rubbing alcohol. I drew out a grid where I wanted the diamonds placed on my board. I used a hair dryer to heat the board and diamonds. I then placed each diamond in place after heating them one by one. I then put a piece of wood on top of them that covered them all. On top of that wood I placed weights that totaled 95lbs. I let it sit for 24 hours before I removed it. These things are stuck on for good! They actually feel like they’re part of the board. Highly recommended!I added a picture which shows the grid I drew. Just remember...if you want the most out of this stomp pad you must put the time and effort into prepping it the right way.

Look good, easy to apply, and sticking so far. No complaints.

These work a lot better than I thought. They help so much getting off the lift. I love how they’re not very obnoxious and actually add to the look of my board.

I was worried there wouldn’t be any grip because it’s metal studs but it’s the perfect amount. Just enough to keep hold your boot, but not too much were it could tear up your sole. I also love how is doesn’t cover up your board and looks elegant

A previous stomp pad fell off my snowboard despite me following all of its instructions on setting/heating, etc. That stomp pad was a silicone one with a honeycomb shape. This time around, I aimed for a more peg-like design but the material it would be made of was still in the air. I came across these Dakine Pyramid Studs and other similar metal studs across other brands. Despite all the other shapes (stars, circles, whathaveyou), these studs seemed to be the tallest and therefore could be gripped beyond the snow. Upon testing for several weeks now, these studs have sure proven themselves and have eased my ski lift troubles. The metal seems to have a better grip than the silicone pad I had, and the studs lay above most snow cover. The only problem is that they are not connected in the neat 3x3 pattern in the picture, and all have to be laid on individually. Because of this, my studs don't all line up and I actually only put on 8 of the studs and left the middle right stud off so I could position it closer to my back foot. The metal color/material also goes nicely with any board design, and it looked nice on my mainly black decked board. They may also be a tad smaller than as they appear, but its all based on how you want to position the studs. Great purchase all around. I would definitely use a method of head to keep these on when setting, and apply pressure for a few hours with a heavy object.PROS:Good gripSubtle, not too flashyGoes with any deck designCustomizable upon spacingCONS:Can be applied unevenlySmaller than expectedI'm a medium-skilled snowboarder on a Burton Genie. I've been snowboarding for about 3 years, and all within the slopes of Vermont. The snow in the Northeast is more ice than pow, but it can turn into mashed potatoes in the springtime. These studs can survive a bulk of any type of snow.

We’ve been using these for years on our snowboard s for stomp pads.

Work as intended. Only downside is destroying your board if you ever decide to take them off. More of a testament for the glue holding these little suckers on.

Follow the directions and these will last (especially the cleaning, heating, and using weight while letting them set overnight). Had the chrome ones on my sons board for quite a while and just put the black ones on my board. They’ve stayed on after multiple days on the mountain and give great traction. Plus they look great.
