Dakine Wideload Traction Pad

This pad is specifically engineered for wider-tailed surfboards, such as fish, grovelers, or funboards. Its three-piece construction allows you to adjust the width to fit broader deck shapes that standard shortboard pads might not cover effectively.

The 25 mm vertical wedge provides a distinct barrier for your back foot, giving you a solid point of leverage to push against during aggressive turns. It offers more security and control than lower-profile kicks, making it ideal for surfers who like to really lean into their maneuvers.

Yes, the cut-outs serve two purposes: they reduce the overall weight of the pad and increase the surface area for your foot to grip. By exposing more of the board's deck, they also improve tactile feedback, allowing you to feel the board better under your feet.

Dakine uses their 'Friendly Foam,' which is a high-quality, lightweight EVA foam designed to withstand the rigors of saltwater and sun exposure. It maintains its structure and grip over time without absorbing excess water.

The pad uses 3M high-grade adhesive, which is the industry standard for traction pads. When applied to a clean, dry, and wax-free surface, it creates a very strong, long-lasting bond that won't peel or shift during sessions.
