A Front Traction Pad Built for Feel and Grip
Surfers searching for a Channel Islands front traction pad that still delivers grip when they step back will find both in the Flux, a 50-50 pad built to give feedback up front and hold on in the back.
Construction and Details
- 3 piece pad
- 25mm vert kick with beveled corners
- 50/50 groove grip pattern, lined up groove up front and mixed groove in back
- 5mm oval arch
- Die cut holes for added grip and reduced weight
- BioGrip natural EVA foam
- 3M marine grade adhesive
The lined up groove sits up front so riders can still feel the board underneath them while pumping or riding inside the tube, while the mixed groove in the back half is built for maximum grip when a rider steps back into a turn or an air.
Who This Pad Is For
This traction pad suits any surfer who wants a single pad that handles both styles of riding, staying connected to the board through smooth sections and locking in during hard turns or airs, whether that is on a local South Florida beach break or a boat trip out to better waves.
Installing and Caring for It
Apply the pad to a clean, dry deck so the 3M marine grade adhesive can bond properly, and keep the surface free of wax buildup around the pad's edges to help the die cut foam hold its grip session after session.
