Stay Covered Short Board Traction Pad

The Y-cut design allows the pad to flex more naturally with the rocker of your surfboard. This helps the adhesive maintain a stronger bond across the tail area, preventing peeling or lifting over time.

The kick tail transitions from 45 to 90 degrees, which gives you a solid, vertical wall to push against. This provides significant leverage when you are initiating sharp turns or snaps off the lip.

Yes, the perforations serve two purposes: they reduce the overall weight of the pad and increase the flexibility of the EVA foam. This makes the pad feel more responsive under your back foot.

Absolutely. The biodegradable EVA foam is engineered to offer the same density, grip, and longevity as traditional traction materials, so you don't have to sacrifice performance for sustainability.

The beveled edges reduce drag by creating a smoother transition between the pad and the board's surface. This helps minimize water resistance, ensuring a cleaner release when you're performing maneuvers off the tail.

With a top width of 12 inches and a tail width of 6 inches, this three-piece pad is designed to fit standard shortboards. If you are riding a very wide fish or groveler, you may want to space the pieces further apart to cover more surface area.
