Octopus Front Deck 2 3-Piece Corduroy Grip
If you searched octopus front deck corduroy grip, this is the pad built to let you plant your front foot as close to the board as possible without a raised arch getting in the way.
Build and Materials
The pad ships as a three piece layout in Corduroy grip texture, with no arch and a 3mm flat profile, backed by 3M high grade adhesive. It measures 14.25 inches by 16.20 inches. The corduroy grooves are there specifically to help prevent bruising across the chest during long paddles while still giving the front foot a low profile grip and a feel close to riding on wax.

Who Reaches for a Front Deck Pad
This suits surfers logging long paddle sessions who want to cut down on chest chafe against the deck, along with anyone who wants extra grip under the front foot during pop ups and cross stepping without adding bulk. Keeping the front deck no arch and flat is a deliberate choice to preserve the wax like board feel up front, leaving the arched, kicked traction to a dedicated tail pad.
Installing and Caring for It
Clean and dry the deck surface fully before applying so the 3M adhesive bonds edge to edge, pressing from the center outward to work out any air bubbles. Rinse the pad with fresh water after sessions and keep the board out of prolonged direct sun, since heat and UV exposure are what eventually lift the adhesive and wear the corduroy texture smooth.
