Leash plug location prohibits good tail pad placement?
Wanting to put a tail pad on my board, but not sure I can get it back far enough whilst still giving the leash plug enough clearance. How does the placement look in the photos? Ideally I would want to have it a bit further back, but I fear it is already too close to the leash plug and at risk of being ripped off. What do you guys think?
Edit: thanks for feedback, I will shorten the leash string (it came like this don't kill me!) and see if I can find a good tutorial before taking a knife to the tail pad
Edit 2: it's really not a fish, it's 6'10" with thruster fin configuration and the swallow tail is tiny compared to a real fish
Edit 3: to the "it's a 6'10" you don't need a tail pad" guys I respect your opinion, but I respect a professional surf coach's opinion more. I agree that it doesn't *need* a tail pad, but no one has claimed that it'll make it harder to surf.
