Who This Pad Is For
A three piece traction pad gives surfers flexibility to position the arch and kick pieces to their own stance rather than committing to a fixed one piece shape, which suits riders who like to fine-tune foot placement on the tail. It works across a range of tail block widths, from performance shortboards to fuller-tailed shapes common in South Florida's smaller wind swell.
Application and Care
Apply the pad to a clean, dry deck section by section, pressing firmly from the center out so no air is trapped under the grip. Warming the adhesive in the sun or with a hair dryer before the first session helps the bond set fully. After surfing in saltwater, rinse the pad with fresh water and let it air dry to protect the texture and adhesive over time.
