The three piece design pairs a 7mm center arch with a 25mm tail kick, and the drilled holes through the kick are there specifically to decrease drag by letting water flow through rather than pool against the pad.
Who It Is For
This pad is built for surfers pushing into serious conditions, from performance shortboarding up through genuine big wave sessions, since Dorian's own background is squarely in high performance big wave surfing. The 7mm arch and cut outs are meant to maximize board feel and grip for a rider who needs total confidence under their back foot when it counts.
Installing and Caring for the Pad
Apply the pad to a clean, dry deck so the 3M high grade adhesive bonds fully, and let it set before paddling out. The drilled holes and cut outs are functional, not decorative, so keep them clear of excess wax buildup that could blunt the grip they are designed to add. Rinse sand and salt off the EVA foam after sessions like any traction pad.
