Slater Designs Front Foot Traction Pad
The Slater Designs Front Foot Traction Pad is built from BLOOM, a high-performance flexible foam made from algae biomass harvested from freshwater sources around the world. It is one of the most requested traction pads in the lineup for surfers searching for a front foot pad that stays thin and sensitive underfoot.
Ultra Thin, Ultra Sensitive
At just 2.5mm thick, this pad has minimal lift so your front foot stays close to the deck. The ultra-fine rectangle tread keeps the feel natural and non-intrusive, and it is sized so additional deck wax is not needed. A 3M adhesive backing keeps the pad secure to your board.
- 2.5mm thick front foot pad with rectangle tread

Sustainable Materials, Real Performance
BLOOM foam is made by harvesting excess algae from waterways, helping remove material that can harm the surrounding ecosystem, then solar drying and pulverizing it before foaming it into traction. The packaging uses post-consumer backing, soy-based inks, and biodegradable wrapping. It is a traction pad built with both feel and environmental impact in mind.
