A Minimalist Traction Pad for Wide Swallowtails
Less is more with the Dakine Retro Fish Surf Traction Pad, built around a wide swallowtail shape for anyone searching for a dakine retro fish traction pad or dakine fish traction pad. It is a two piece pad with a flat, zero arch design and a 20mm wedge kick, aimed at a minimalist feel and look.
Construction
- Dakine Friendly Foam, biodegradable EVA foam
- Plastic free packaging
- Positraction grid pattern
- Two piece pad
- No arch
- 20mm wedge kick
- 3M high grade adhesive
- 100% Ethylene Vinyl Acetate
The custom grid pattern and EVA foam blend are built to maintain the same grip and feel regardless of water temperature, so the pad performs the same in a cold front swell as it does in summer flat spells.
Who It Is For
This pad suits riders on wide swallowtail retro shapes who want a low profile, flat feel underfoot rather than a pronounced arch bar. The zero arch, two piece layout is built for a minimalist aesthetic and feel rather than maximum foot lock, making it a fit for riders who prioritize board feel and a clean look over an aggressive kick.
Installing and Caring for the Pad
The pad uses 3M high grade marine adhesive, so apply it to a clean, dry deck for the strongest bond, and let it cure before hitting the water if possible. Because it is made of Dakine's biodegradable Friendly Foam EVA, treat it like standard EVA traction, rinsing off sand and salt and keeping it out of prolonged direct heat that could soften the adhesive bond.
