Who This Pad Is For
This traction pad suits the performance minded surfer who wants precise back foot placement and grip during hard turns and quick direction changes, whether surfing a South Florida beach break or a boat wake session. The rider specific shaping mirrors what Julian Wilson uses on tour, built for surfers who want that same level of control.
Installing and Caring for Your Traction Pad
Clean and dry the deck of your board thoroughly before applying the pad so the adhesive backing bonds fully, and press each of the 3 pieces down firmly along the tail. Rinse the pad with fresh water after sessions to clear sand from the grooves and channels so the sanded grip surface keeps performing.
The FCS Name Behind It
FCS designs its traction and accessories in collaboration with the world's leading surf athletes and surfboard shapers, and its gear is the preferred choice of many of the world's best surfers and shapers.
