Who It Is For
This pad suits surfers who want extra rear foot lock in for aggressive, hard carving turns in the beach break conditions common to South Florida. The three piece layout and raised arch design give surfers a clear reference point for back foot placement without looking down, which matters when a wave is moving quickly and a surfer needs to commit to a turn.
Installation and Care
Clean and dry the deck of the board thoroughly before applying, since the ultra strength glue needs a clean surface to bond properly. Press each piece down firmly and hold for a few seconds, especially along the edges, to make sure the EVA foam is fully seated. Rinse the pad with fresh water after saltwater sessions and let it air dry, and avoid leaving the board in direct sun for long periods since heat can soften the glue bond over time.
Brand Background
Gorilla Grips builds its traction pads from lightweight EVA foam with ultra strength glue so the grip stays firmly stuck to the board, using grooves and sanded surfaces that hold the foot in a vice like grip, with each groove and arch shaping how that grip feels underfoot.
