Octopus Dylan Graves Traction Pad

This four-piece hybrid design is versatile enough for shortboards, hybrids, and boards with wider tails. Because it comes in four pieces, you can adjust the width to fit the specific tail shape of your board.

This pad uses a combination of corduroy-style ridges and Octopus's signature Octo Groove. It feels slightly less abrasive than traditional diamond patterns while providing a very secure, locked-in sensation that helps with aggressive maneuvers.

The 30mm kick is substantial, but it is designed for performance. If you like to really push against your back foot during turns or need a clear physical reference point for your foot placement, you will likely appreciate the extra leverage it provides.

Yes, the 5mm center arch is designed to fill the natural contour of your foot arch. It helps with board feel and provides a bit of extra leverage when you are transitioning from rail to rail.

Because it is a four-piece design, you have some flexibility, but it is primarily optimized for wider tail shapes. If you have a very narrow pin-tail, you might find that the pieces overlap or hang off the edges, so it is best suited for boards with a bit more surface area in the tail.
