Channel Islands Fish Pad

Fish surfboards typically have wider tails and different rocker profiles than standard shortboards. This pad's two-piece design allows you to adjust the width to match the tail shape of your specific fish, ensuring the traction covers the area where your back foot naturally lands.

At 2.5 mm thick, this pad minimizes the distance between your foot and the board's deck. This provides a more direct, sensitive connection, which helps you feel the board's flex and response more clearly during turns.

It features a subtle 4.5 mm kick. It is designed to act as a tactile reference point so you can feel your foot position without the bulk of a high-profile arch or aggressive wedge, keeping the board feeling loose and free.

Yes, the vertical grooves are designed to offer reliable traction by creating channels that lock your foot in place. While it feels different than diamond or square patterns, it provides excellent grip for carving and maneuvers while maintaining a clean, low-profile aesthetic.

While optimized for the wider tail of a fish, the two-piece design is versatile enough to work on other board shapes. As long as the tail width accommodates the two pieces, it will function well on any board where you prefer a minimalist, low-profile grip.
