Pro Lite The Hammer Traction Pad

The micro-dot pattern is designed to reduce the overall weight of the pad while maintaining a responsive, tactile feel under your foot. It offers a unique grip that feels less aggressive than standard diamond patterns but remains highly effective for maneuvers.

While the Hammer is specifically engineered to absorb less water—making it an excellent choice for tropical climates and boardshorts sessions—it will perform perfectly well in colder water. Its primary advantage in any climate is the reduced skin abrasion, which is a benefit regardless of water temperature.

The high arch provides a solid reference point for your back foot, helping you lock in during turns. Combined with the high kick, this setup offers significant leverage and security, making it ideal for surfers who like to push hard against their tail pad during aggressive maneuvers.

Yes, because it is a three-piece design, you can space the pieces out to match the width of your surfboard's tail. This allows you to customize the coverage to fit everything from a narrow shortboard tail to a wider squash tail.

The Hammer is specifically formulated to be less abrasive on the skin than many traditional traction pads. This makes it a great option if you frequently surf in boardshorts and want to avoid the common rash or irritation caused by rougher grip patterns.
