The best traction pad for skimboarding would be Freak traction. Freak traction is designed to be compatible with skimboards and generally skimboards only. Although you may use any traction pads on a skimboard, it wont stick on the board as long and you'll end up wasting your money.
Land skimboarding is generally referring to skimboarding on the sand. Skimboarding is usually done on smaller waves coming into shore but if your talking aobut land skimboarding then it means skimming on the sand.
They give you extra traction without having to worry about wax. Both ultimately keep the feet from sliding on the board. Using a combination of both the traction pad for the back foot and wax for the front is the best combination, mainly because there aren't many, if not at all, front traction pads. Plus it is cheaper to use wax.
Skimboarding has its origins in southern California -- specifically, Laguna Beach -- which is thought by many to have the best conditions for skimboarding. However, the biggest waves are in Cabo San Lucas, and people skimboard all over the world. Flatland skimboarding can be done anywhere there's water, even puddles.

Mainly a Foam Compound
Skimboarding (or skimming) is a boardsport in which a skimboard (a smaller counterpart to a surfboard without fins) is used to glide across the water's surface. Unlike surfing, skimboarding begins on the beach by dropping the board onto the thin wash of previous waves.
traction pads in the surf and skim world are foamy / rubbery pieces that you place strategically on your board to give you more traction for your feet and more "pop" for wrapping waves and jumping on a flatland skimboard.
big pads on their feet better traction and another on their chest so they can rest
Michelin mud and snow tires get great traction, but if you want the best traction go with studded tires.
no it is rubbish
Yes, like any other pro sport, pro skimboarding does pay. It may not be the millions of dollars football players get but they do get paid well.
traction means the ability to avoid slipping
