Neoprene Ski
Where can I buy that neoprene or foam rubber padding? Like the kind they put on jet ski's where your feet go?
I have an old jet ski, '91 kawasaki js 650, and I need to replace the foot padding. Its just some pretty basic black, foam rubber type stuff, about 1/4 inch thick. I've checked at jet ski stores but they either don't have it, or it has a pretty high price tag, like $70.
I want to just find a roll of it somewhere cheap and cut it to size (since I also want to use it for another project).
However I've checked every hardware store in town, as well as boaters world, none of them have anything close. The closest thing I've been able to find is a yoga mat from wal mart, but its really not ideal.
Does anyone have any idea where I can get a roll of this, or something pretty comparable. (black, about 1/4 inch thick, durable foam rubber). I'd prefer to find it at an actual store so I can feel it before I buy, but if not I'd buy it online too.
Thanks.
You should try a A/c shop or possibly a plumbing shop as the insulation for ducts and pipes is much the same. You would be looking for the sheet stuff as opposed to reg pipe insulation. I am NOT referring to the stuff available at DIY home centers(They make great noodles though) This is commercial grade and heavy duty. I have had to insulate tanks with the stuff as well as appurtenances with-in a piping system
None of us wants to think about knee pain, especially while we are skiing. So what if a knee injury happens to you in the future? You will wonder how you could have prevented it from happening. Knee injury prevention tips are included here, so that you will not have to look back in vain, if you read them now.
When you are snowboarding or skiing, you will most likely have twisting forces that can occur at your knee joints. As you know your feet are usually locked (more or less) into the ski or snowboard, but you still need to adapt to the snowy terrain as you go over bumps in the mountain side. This sets up a situation were you might hurt your knee due to a twisting or otherwise awkward movement. Although we hope this does not ever happen, we do suggest you read on to get some useful prevention tips.
Even if you are a great skier, chances are that you can fall at some point during a ski trip. Or, if you are not a person who "has ever fallen" you can use this information to help someone who does:
1.) Don't fully straighten your legs when you fall. Keep your knees flexed. This helps avoid hyperextension of your legs, which can contribute to a knee injury.
2.) Don't try to get up until you have stopped sliding. Many knee injuries happen as a result of trying to get up to quickly when your balance is not good, and this is when your real injury might happen.
3.) Don't land on your hands (if you can help it) Keep your arms up and forward. This is more of a general point of safety.
4.) Do not jump unless you know where and how to land. Sounds simple enough, right? It is best to land on both skis and keep your knees flexed.
If you have a pre-existing knee injury or knee pain the use of a well designed knee brace can help reduce your pain, and can also help prevent future knee injuries from occurring. The United States ski team uses knee braces to help promote knee stability and to promote the future protection of their knees.
