OAM Crooked Series Traction

The five-piece design allows you to customize the width and placement of the pad to fit your specific board's tail shape. It provides more versatility than a standard three-piece pad, letting you spread the pieces out for wider boards or keep them tighter for a narrower setup.

Animal Grip is designed to create a more aggressive, reliable wall for your foot compared to standard diamond or square patterns. It feels secure and locked-in, providing extra traction that prevents your back foot from slipping during aggressive turns or critical maneuvers.

The high arch is best for surfers who prefer a very locked-in feel and want a distinct reference point for their back foot. If you prefer a flatter deck feel or have very flat feet, you might find the high arch slightly intrusive, but it is excellent for leverage and control.

A medium kick tail offers a balanced amount of leverage. It provides enough of a backstop to push against during hard carves without being so aggressive that it interferes with your foot placement when you need to move around the tail.

Yes, the modular five-piece design makes this pad compatible with almost any surfboard tail, from wide fish shapes to standard shortboards. Just ensure your tail area is clean and dry before applying to ensure the adhesive bonds properly.
