Creatures of Leisure Mick Fanning Loc-Lite EcoPure Traction Pad
Pickup currently unavailable at BSS
Developed by a 3x World Champion
The Mick Fanning Loc-Lite EcoPure is not a marketing collaboration. It is a performance tool designed by Mick Fanning through 30 years of Creatures of Leisure development. The pad fuses two proven traction technologies into a single 3-piece system built for committed surfing and responsible manufacturing.
Dual Traction: Loc-Lite Technology Explained
Loc-Lite is not a single texture. It is the combination of two distinct grip systems working in different zones of the pad.
Square Loc
The primary field of the pad uses Creatures' Square Loc high-profile grid. The raised square pattern locks the foot in position under load, giving surfers the precise platform feel needed for powerful carves and aerial approaches.
Thermo-Lite Micro Dot
Strategic heel and toe cut-out zones are finished in micro dot Thermo-Lite. This lighter, finer texture increases sensory feedback at the board's rail where feel matters most, while the cut-outs themselves reduce unnecessary material and weight without sacrificing foot engagement.
EcoPure Biodegradable Foam
The foam core carries the EcoPure Organic Additive, a biodegradable compound that accelerates natural breakdown at end of life. Performance is not compromised. The additive works at the material level so the pad surfs the same as a conventional EVA pad but leaves a smaller footprint after its service life. Packaging is also designed for responsibility: recyclable and biodegradable materials throughout.
Construction Details
- Arch bar: 7mm teardrop profile centered in the rear piece for precise foot placement and natural arch support during bottom turns
- Kick tail: 28mm table top kick provides a firm, flat ledge against the heel for powerful back-foot drive
- Pieces: 3-piece configuration allows the pad to conform to a wide range of tail shapes and board widths
- Adhesive: 3M adhesive backing for a lasting, secure bond to the deck

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is Loc-Lite traction?
- Loc-Lite is a dual traction system that combines Square Loc high-profile grid texture across the main foot platform with Thermo-Lite micro dot finish in strategic heel and toe cut-out zones. The result is high grip where you need locking power and increased feel where rail sensitivity matters.
- What does EcoPure mean on this traction pad?
- EcoPure refers to an organic additive blended into the EVA foam that makes the material biodegradable. It accelerates natural breakdown at end of life without changing how the pad performs on the board. The packaging is also recyclable and biodegradable.
- How do I install this traction pad?
- Clean and dry the deck of your board thoroughly. Peel the 3M adhesive backing and position each of the three pieces before pressing firmly. Allow the adhesive to cure for several hours before surfing. A clean, wax-free surface gives the strongest bond.
- What tail shapes does this pad fit?
- The 3-piece configuration allows the pad to flex and conform to various tail shapes, including squash, round, swallow, and pin. Measure your board's tail to confirm placement before peeling the adhesive backing.
- What is the kick height and why does it matter?
- The kick is 28mm with a table top profile, meaning the ledge is flat rather than curved. A flat kick gives the back heel a firm, consistent reference point for generating drive through turns without the foot sliding up or off.
- Who is this traction pad designed for?
- The Mick Fanning Loc-Lite EcoPure is designed for surfers who want high-performance grip with an eco-conscious construction. It is equally at home under a competitive surfer and an experienced everyday surfer who demands reliable foot placement in all conditions.
- Where can I buy the Creatures Mick Fanning Loc-Lite EcoPure traction pad?
- The pad is available at Island Water Sports in South Florida and through the Island Water Sports online store.
