Been out on the lake kneeboarding quite abit lately, and my hands are killing me was looking at getting some clincher ultimate gloves, and wondering if anyone has used them. Thanks for any input.

Clincher gloves work- I used them before when I Barefooted.
They basically have a reinforced strap that puts the strain on the wrist relieving your hands & forearms to a certain extent.

They seem better for longer duration runs- I think they might get in the way if you throw alot of wraparound/360's tricks- or if you are required to change the grip frequently.

How tricky is it to release and regrab? I think they have them at Shadetree in town, so going to probably try them out later this week, what kind of gloves do you use? I also tried my friends gloves out(i think they were connely) they were pretty decent also.

Its been a while since I used the Clincher gloves-
Basically I buy whichever gloves are the most comfortable, best fit, and decent velcro strap around the wrist.
Honestly- I don't think it matters much-
I've used , Kidder, O'brien, Connely, HO - I think Kidder was my favorite.
