When water droplets form they make bumps on the ice. This is pebbled ice. It reduces the amount of friction between the ice and the stone because the stone isn't making as much contact with the surface of the sheet (playing field.)

What is Pebbled curling ice sheet?
Before each curling match, the ice is "pebbled" by spraying drops of hot water on the ice. The drops freeze within a few seconds and make the ice surface bumpy (about 1 bump per every square centimeter of ice). Quality pebble is one of the keys to modern finesse-based curling. It allows the rocks to slide down the ice much more easily and act more consistently than if the ice were simply smooth like a mirror. It also gives particles of debris a place to hide so that they don't run under the rock and cause the rock to do strange things. Wearing-down of the pebble is an important factor in strategy, as it causes the behavior of the rocks to change as a game goes on. For example, rocks may act differently on the right side vs. left side of the sheet if significantly more rocks have been thrown on one side vs. the other.

What kind of road surface is easier to see when driving at night a pebbled uneven surface or a mirror smooth surface?
A mirror smooth surface is typically easier to see at night while driving as it reflects more light from vehicle headlights, making it more visible. A pebbled uneven surface may create shadows and reflections that can obscure visibility in comparison.
What is pebbled leather?
A pebble usually refers to a small rounded stone or crinkled surface. Pebble leather is leather that has been given a granulated surface.
Which kind of road surface is easier to see when driving at night - a pebbled uneven or mirror smooth surfaces?
A mirror smooth surface is easier to see when driving at night because it reflects light more effectively, making road markings and any potential hazards more visible. Pebbled and uneven surfaces can create shadows and distort reflections, making it harder to see clearly at night.
What is the playing surface in curling called?
The playing area is called a "sheet" of ice, so a curling club with 4 playing areas is said to have 4 sheets. The actual ice surface is different than normal hockey/figure skating ice in that it has tiny bumps all over, called the "pebble," that reduce the friction between the ice and the 42 lb granite stones.
What kinds of portfolio does Coach offer?
