Gorilla Boomhower Tail Pad and Arch Bar Combo for Skimboards
Gorilla set a new standard for skimboard traction with the original Boomhower pad, and this print version brings that same grip to your board in a fresh look. The combo pairs an extra thick, one piece Skimarch with a three piece tailpad so your back foot and arch stay locked in from the first step to the last cutback.
Built With Gorilla Grip Materials
- Extra thick Skimarch, one piece construction
- Three piece tailpad
- Diamond III groove pattern for directional bite
Gorilla Grips are made with lightweight EVA foam and ultra strength glue, so the pad stays firmly stuck to the deck instead of peeling at the edges. The Diamond III grooves and sanded surface work together to hold your feet in a vice like grip, with the groove and arch shape tailoring exactly how the traction feels underfoot.
Who This Pad Is For
This combo is built for skimboarders who run and slide across wet sand or shallow water, where a slick deck means a missed wave. The extra thick arch bar gives your back foot a raised reference point so you can find your stance without looking down, which matters when you are sprinting into a shorebreak wave.
Installing and Caring for Your Pad
Clean and dry your deck before applying the pad so the adhesive bonds fully, then press firmly along every edge and let it cure before your first session. Rinse the pad with fresh water after use in saltwater and let it air dry to keep the EVA foam and adhesive in good shape over time.
About Gorilla
Gorilla built its name on skimboard traction, and the Boomhower line was designed to raise the bar for grip and comfort on the tail of the board. This print edition keeps the same construction shoppers came to expect from the original Boomhower Pad.
