Two-Piece Flat Grip, One Clean Price
The Icon 2 from Creatures of Leisure solves a real problem: most surfers who want a clean, flat traction pad end up paying a premium for a one-piece format. The Icon 2 delivers the same flat grip profile in a two-piece construction, giving you the coverage and comfort of a full flat pad without the markup. It is built for surfers who want their gear to look as good as it performs.
Designed for Wider Boards
The modern, wide outline of the Icon 2 is shaped specifically to work with wider board templates. Whether you are riding a mid-length, a fish, or a high-volume shortboard, the pad lays flat across the tail without gaps or overhang. The two-piece split runs center-to-tail so you can position each piece precisely around your fin boxes and leash plug.
Premium Materials, Built to Last
Creatures of Leisure has been refining traction pad construction for over 30 years, with design and development across offices in Western Australia, the Gold Coast, France, and California. The Icon 2 reflects that depth of experience: premium EVA construction with a uniform nub texture that grips through wax, water, and full foot pressure. The adhesive backing bonds directly to the board deck and holds through extended sessions in both warm and cold water.
Function Meets Modern Design
The Icon 2 is not a purely utilitarian pad. The center hole pattern visible through both pieces reduces weight, improves water drainage, and adds a graphic element that sets it apart from plain black pads. The Creatures of Leisure logo sits cleanly on the upper left piece. The flat profile is intentional: no kick, no arch bar. Flat pads let your foot position and board feel do the work, which is exactly the point for surfers who prefer a minimal, low-profile setup.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What makes the Icon 2 different from a one-piece traction pad?
- The Icon 2 is a two-piece flat pad that covers the same surface area as a one-piece pad but at a lower price point. The split construction also lets you position each piece independently around fin boxes and leash plugs for a precise fit.
- Is the Icon 2 designed for a specific type of surfboard?
- Yes. The wide, modern outline is designed to suit wider board templates, including fish shapes, mid-lengths, and high-volume shortboards. The flat profile works well on any board where you prefer minimal tail hardware.
- Does the Icon 2 have a kick tail or arch bar?
- No. The Icon 2 is a fully flat traction pad. There is no kick tail and no arch bar. This is intentional: the flat profile keeps the foot connection clean and lets surfers who prefer a natural foot position use the pad without raised features underfoot.
- How do I apply the Icon 2 traction pad to my board?
- Clean and dry the board deck thoroughly before application. Peel the backing from each piece and press firmly from the center outward to eliminate air bubbles. Allow the adhesive to cure for several hours before surfing. Position the pieces around your leash plug and fin boxes before committing the adhesive.
- Is the Icon 2 a good traction pad for beginners?
- Yes. The flat profile, wide outline, and straightforward two-piece format make the Icon 2 a practical first traction pad. It provides solid grip without features that can interfere with learning proper foot placement.
