Dakine Team Mission Surf Traction Pad
If you are looking for a dakine traction pad for surf that gives you a firm, dependable stance on your board, the Dakine Team Mission Surf Traction Pad is a unisex tail pad built for exactly that.
Built by a Trusted Surf Accessories Brand
Dakine has built its reputation as a leader in bags, packs, and accessories for board sports over more than a quarter century. After marking its 40th anniversary in 2019, the brand keeps developing gear for top professionals across every discipline, and that same design experience backs this traction pad.
Who This Traction Pad Is For
This pad is a fit for any surfer, whether you are just starting out or chasing bigger days, who wants a secure back foot placement without leaning on wax alone. In South Florida, where swells can move quickly and sessions are often squeezed into whatever window the tide and wind allow, having your footing dialed in means you spend that time riding rather than adjusting.
Installing and Using the Pad
Traction pads mount with a peel and stick adhesive, so the tail of the board needs to be clean, dry, and free of wax before you apply it. Press it down firmly across the full surface to set the bond and allow the adhesive to cure before your first paddle out. Once in place, the raised sections give your back foot a clear reference point, helping you find the same stance every time you pop up or set up a turn.
Caring for the Pad
Rinse the pad with fresh water after sessions in saltwater to help preserve the adhesive and texture, and keep the board out of extended direct sun when it is not in use. If you notice an edge starting to lift, press it back down right away so sand and moisture cannot get underneath.
Why Buy From Island Water Sports
Island Water Sports has been outfitting South Florida surfers since 1978 with the gear they actually use in the water. Grab the Dakine Team Mission Surf Traction Pad from our surf accessories lineup and get your board ready for your next session.
