Who it is for
This traction pad suits surfers who want reliable footing on their board's tail area, whether paddling out at a South Florida beach break or heading out from a boat launch for a session further offshore. A traction pad matters most on maneuvers, pumping down the line, and any moment your back foot needs to hold without slipping.
Installing and caring for a traction pad
Clean and dry the deck surface before applying a traction pad so the adhesive backing bonds properly, and press firmly along all edges once positioned. Rinse the pad with fresh water after saltwater sessions and let it dry before storing the board, since salt buildup and prolonged UV exposure are what typically wear traction pads down fastest over time.
