Who this pad is for
A traction pad is one of the simplest upgrades a surfer can make, giving your back foot a fixed reference point so you can find your stance in a hurry when a set wave comes through a South Florida lineup. It works for anyone paddling out on a shortboard, funboard or performance longboard who currently relies on wax alone for back foot grip.
Installing and caring for a traction pad
Traction pads are applied to a clean, dry, wax-free deck, with the adhesive backing pressed firmly from the center outward to avoid trapped air. Once it is set, keep the surrounding deck free of built-up wax so the grip pattern keeps doing its job, and rinse the board in fresh water after saltwater sessions to keep the adhesive bond intact over time.
