Choosing the Right Surfboard Traction Pad

When shopping for a surfboard traction pad, consider the shape of your board's tail, the size of the pad, the number of pieces, and the kick and arch design.

Three-Piece Traction Pads: Adjustable layouts that let you position the pieces to suit your board's tail width and your stance.

Fish & Wide-Tail Pads: Traction options designed to fit wider surfboard tails.

Pin-Tail Pads: Narrower traction designs suited to boards with tapered tails.

Front Deck Traction: Additional grip for surfers who prefer traction farther forward on their boards.
