@a_onekatie Awesome to hear that it's a good fit for your commute.
One Item 1, also don't forget the batteries in OW's don't like extreme cold or heat, kind of like your cell phone. So even if parked in a safe area, if you have strong winter or summer temps, not recommended that you leave your board either.
And if your curious why his float plates look this way... here is Jeff in action on his Pint.

@OneDan yeah it's when you go over large tree roots you thank your lucky stars you have your feet on the board still, haha.
The Kush pad is like that also... but made of a slightly flexible polymer. So it would be good even if it was flat but that softness with the concave is just right!
Happy sidewalk surfing.
They are thicker plastic so they don't wrap but pieces (for the OW+ & XR, I assume the same for the Pint) are included that cover the top and bottom of the rails.
I'm sure their site shows them. 
@a_onekatie I can only speak to The Float Life products but my rail guards didn't exist when I got my OW+ and my board took a beating on the trails.
My XR had them installed at mile 0... I'm on my third set but that's just because they keep getting better. But the guards have stayed in place, are easy to remove and when taken off, my rails look like they still have zero miles on them. Plus @jeffmccosker who owns the Float Life brand is an awesome rider and all around guy. Above and beyond customer service.
@OneDan I know this is the shoe post... but have you tried a Kush rear pad? For me that made a huge difference in my foot cramping... also you won't be able to go back to stock grip tape afterwards, so you've been warned.
The Float Life is out of stock for the Pint at the moment.. but they are another option for clear side kicks.

With the exception of allowing you to replace a faulty front footpad under warranty yourself, all other OW work has historically been done by FM in Cali. That's been a major issue for customers outside of the country.
@Senior-Coffee those look so good cleaned up...
One question, did you take the S/N off the bottom of the rails? FYI: A friend in Florida did and they refused to do repair work on his board. Not meaning to be a Debbie Downer on this but wanted to relay a word of caution.
