Captain Fin Co. Militia Traction Pad

A flat pad is designed for surfers who prioritize direct board feel and responsiveness. By removing the arch bar, you get a more consistent, unobtrusive surface under your foot, which is ideal if you prefer to shift your stance frequently or dislike the feeling of a raised bump under your arch.

The 45-degree grooves are engineered to provide reliable traction without adding unnecessary bulk. This specific pattern offers excellent tactile feedback, ensuring your foot stays locked in during critical turns while maintaining a clean, low-profile feel.

With dimensions of 15 inches long by 14 inches wide, this two-piece pad is sized to fit most standard shortboards. Because it is a two-piece design, you have the flexibility to spread the pieces apart to accommodate wider tail shapes.

Yes, this pad uses professional-grade 3M adhesive, which is the industry standard for reliable, long-lasting bonds. It is designed to withstand the rigors of aggressive surfing and varying water temperatures, provided you apply it to a clean, dry deck.

The pad is 3 mm thick. This thickness strikes a balance between providing enough cushioning for impact and maintaining the direct board feel that performance surfers look for.
