FCS T-3 Wide Eco Traction Pad for Surfboards
The FCS T-3 Wide Eco Traction Pad brings the essential 3-piece grip surfers already trust, now built from sugarcane-based bio-foam. It keeps the same connected, locked-in feel FCS traction is known for while shifting the material to a more sustainable foam, so you get performance grip without giving anything up on feel.
Materials and Construction
This pad is made with sugarcane bio-foam and arrives as a wide 3-piece set. The deck combines a double diamond groove with a double square groove for varied traction zones, a drop arch bar for arch definition, and a kick tail to help lock your back foot in place. Surfaces are sanded for enhanced grip, and the pad is built ultra thin for sensitivity to the board underfoot, with perforation added for extra resistance against your foot. At the top it measures 350mm wide, narrowing to 240mm at the bottom.

Who This Pad Is For
This traction pad suits surfers who want dependable back foot grip on any board, whether that is a quick paddle out from the beach or a longer session further offshore along the South Florida coast. The wide platform and drop arch design give you a defined reference point for foot placement, which helps with pumping down the line and driving off the back foot in turns.
Installing and Caring for Your Pad
Traction pads install with adhesive backing onto a clean, dry deck, positioned just behind your back foot strap or leash plug area so the arch bar lines up naturally with your stance. Rinse the pad with fresh water after saltwater sessions and let it dry fully before storing your board, since trapped moisture and sun exposure over time can loosen the adhesive bond at the edges.
