Gorilla Phat Three Traction Pad
Surfers looking for a gorilla grip pad want reliable footing on the tail of their board, and the Phat Three is built around exactly that. It uses lightweight EVA foam paired with ultra strength, industrial grade adhesive, so the pad stays firmly stuck to the surfboard while the grooved and sanded surface keeps your feet locked in.
Features and Construction
- Style: 3 piece grip pad
- Cushioning EVA foam
- Industrial grade adhesive for a secure application
- Copperhead arch bar
- Diamond III Groove for grip underfoot
- A steep block wedge for aggressive turning
The 3 piece layout is designed for boards with narrower tails, letting each section fit the tail shape rather than relying on one solid piece that has to be trimmed down.
Who This Traction Pad Is For
This pad suits surfers riding boards with a narrower tail who want the back foot control that a dedicated arch bar and steep wedge provide, whether pushing into turns at a local South Florida beach break or paddling out from a boat to open water conditions. The Diamond III groove pattern and arch bar combination is built for surfers who push hard off the back foot through aggressive turns.
Applying and Caring for Your Traction Pad
Clean and dry the tail of your board thoroughly before applying the pad so the industrial grade adhesive bonds fully, then press each of the three pieces down firmly, working from the arch bar back through the wedge. Rinse the pad with fresh water after sessions to clear sand and salt out of the grooves, and avoid leaving the board in prolonged direct sun, which can soften the EVA foam and adhesive bond over time.
About Gorilla
Gorilla builds its tailpads around lightweight EVA foam and ultra strength glue so the pad stays firmly stuck to the board, using grooved and sanded surfaces to hold your feet in a vice like grip, with each groove and arch shaped to tailor that gripping feel.
