Firewire Action Slater 5-Piece Arch Traction Pad
The Slater Designs 5-Piece Action Pad is Kelly Slater's favorite arch, built with functional design straight from Kelly. He chopped a V into the tail kick to prevent your leash from catching, and slit the arch for a distinct feel underfoot.
Design Details
The arch support on this pad is just as wide as the brand's 3 and 5 piece Slater Designs pads, but sits lower on this version. Square grooved edges on either side of the parallel slits give a hooked in feeling other arch supports do not match, and the pad's 5-piece layout lets you space the side pieces further apart or closer together for a longer or shorter overall pad. It features diamond tread, a center arch, and 3M adhesive backing for the mount.
- 5-piece pad with adjustable side piece spacing
- V-cut tail kick to keep the leash from catching
- Diamond tread with a center arch
- Square grooved edges around parallel slits for a locked in feel
- 3M adhesive backing
Who This Pad Is For
This arch pad suits surfers who want a Kelly Slater designed reference point for back foot placement, whether you are working on more technical turns or just want a dependable, adjustable fit for regular South Florida sessions.
Installing and Caring for Your Pad
Because the side pieces can be spaced closer or further apart, take a moment to set your preferred pad length before applying the 3M adhesive backing to a clean, dry deck. Rinse with fresh water after saltwater sessions and let the pad dry before storing the board, since trapped moisture can weaken the adhesive bond over time.
