Will this traction pad suit my board?
Compare the pad’s dimensions, number of pieces, arch and kick with your board’s tail shape and your preferred stance. Check the stated deck compatibility before buying; a pad intended for a hard surfboard should not be assumed suitable for a softboard.
Send us your board model if you’d like help matching it.
What should I check before applying the pad?
Check whether this is a front pad, tail pad or another grip format, then compare its pieces, arch and kick with your stance and board. Test the layout before peeling the backing.
Follow the installation directions, removing wax and preparing a clean, dry, compatible deck. Do not assume hard-board adhesive is suitable for a softboard.
What warranty comes with this traction?
