A Team-Favorite Traction Pad from Channel Islands
The Channel Islands Michael February 3-Piece Flat Tail Pad combines two different groove textures in one design, a pattern CI says its top team riders favor for its high-performance traction feel.
Construction Details
This 3 piece pad takes CI's Lined-up pattern as its base and combines it with a diamond groove to create its mixed groove grip texture. It features a 25mm vert kick with beveled corners and a flat-ridge arch, all built from BioGrip natural EVA foam and attached with a 3M Marine Grade adhesive.
Who It's For and How It's Used
This tail pad suits surfers who want the same back foot traction their favorite team riders rely on, whether surfing performance shortboards or working on more technical maneuvers in South Florida's waves. The flat-ridge arch and beveled kick are shaped to keep the back foot locked in through turns without adding bulk underfoot.
Installation and Care
A clean, dry, dust-free deck surface is important for the 3M Marine Grade adhesive to bond securely, so wipe the board down before applying the pad. After saltwater sessions, rinsing the pad with fresh water helps keep the mixed groove texture clear of sand and salt buildup so the grip stays consistent.
