Who This Pad Is For
Any surfer riding a shortboard or performance board in South Florida's beach breaks can use a traction pad like the Proto 1.4 to keep their stance consistent, whether that is an early morning session before work or a quick paddle out after a storm swell pushes through.
Installing and Caring for a Traction Pad
Apply the pad to a clean, dry deck so the adhesive backing bonds fully, and set the front edge to match where your back foot naturally lands so your stance stays consistent wave after wave. Rinse sand and salt off the pad after every session, since built-up grit wears down the grip surface faster than saltwater alone.
