FCS Ryan Hipwood Traction Pad

This pad is specifically designed for larger surfboards and guns. The extended length ensures you have adequate coverage for your back foot when riding bigger equipment where board length and stance positioning differ from standard shortboards.

No, this model features a flat profile without an arch bar. This design choice is intentional, providing a more direct connection to the board and allowing for greater freedom of movement under your foot.

The double square groove pattern creates a textured surface that locks your foot in place during aggressive turns. Combined with the sanded finish, it offers a high level of grip without sacrificing the sensitivity you need to feel the board beneath you.

The high tail kick acts as a physical barrier for your back foot, giving you a secure point of leverage during hard carves or steep drops. It prevents your foot from slipping off the back of the board when you are pushing through high-speed maneuvers.

The integrated channels are designed to reduce water weight and improve drainage. By channeling water away from the pad surface, they help maintain consistent grip and prevent the pad from feeling waterlogged during long sessions.
