Octopus Split 2 corduroy grip for consistent traction
Surfers searching for an Octopus corduroy traction pad will find the Split 2 built as a two piece corduroy grip, giving the tail of a surfboard a ribbed, textured surface for the back foot instead of a single molded diamond pad.
What it is
- Two piece corduroy grip construction
- Traction pad category, made by Octopus
Who this pad suits
Corduroy grip is a common choice for surfers who prefer a softer underfoot feel than a hard kicktail pad while still getting a non slip surface, which works well in the warm water conditions common to South Florida surf sessions where boards see frequent use and constant sun exposure.
Applying and caring for the pad
Corduroy traction pads are applied to a clean, dry deck, pressed on from one edge and worked outward to avoid trapping air. Rinsing the pad with fresh water after each session and letting it dry before storage keeps the grip surface and adhesive performing well over repeated use.
Octopus as a brand
Octopus makes traction pads, corduroy grip, front and back surfboard grip pads, leashes, board socks, wetsuit dry bags and backpacks, with a team that has included surfers such as Nate Tyler, Dion Agius, Chippa Wilson, Brendon Gibbens and Colin Moran.
