FCS Kolohe Andino Tread Lite

The Tread Lite is designed specifically for surfers who prioritize board sensitivity over heavy cushioning. It is the thinnest and lightest pad in the FCS lineup, utilizing nano-dot technology to provide grip without the bulk of traditional diamond-pattern pads.

Yes, the nano-dot technology is designed to provide consistent traction regardless of water temperature. Because it relies on a micro-texture rather than deep grooves, it maintains its grip profile even when you are wearing a wetsuit.

While it is built for high-performance surfing, it works for anyone who wants a more direct, responsive feel from their board. However, beginners might prefer a thicker pad with more arch support for comfort during long sessions.

The three-piece design offers versatility, allowing you to spread the pieces apart to fit wider tail shapes or keep them tight for narrower boards. It gives you the flexibility to customize the width of the traction to match your stance.

Yes, the high tail kick is specifically engineered to act as a solid backstop for your foot during hard carves and vertical maneuvers. It provides a distinct reference point so you can push against the tail with confidence.
