FCS Sally Fitzgibbons Athlete Series Traction Pad

The three-piece construction allows you to adjust the width of the pad to fit the specific tail shape of your surfboard. You can spread the pieces further apart for wider boards or keep them closer together for narrower squash or pin tails.

Yes, it is specifically engineered to lock your back foot in place during aggressive maneuvers. The added grip helps you push harder through turns and maintain control when releasing the tail.

This pad is designed primarily for shortboards and performance-oriented shapes. Because of its three-piece modular design, it is versatile enough to fit most standard shortboard tail widths.

Unlike wax, which can wear down or become slippery in cold water, this traction pad provides a consistent, reliable surface that doesn't require re-application. It offers a more locked-in feel, which is ideal for high-intensity surfing where you need maximum stability.

While the pieces are designed to fit most boards, you can carefully trim the edges with a sharp utility knife if you need to accommodate a specific tail shape or leash plug placement. Just be sure to measure twice before cutting.
