Zap Skimboards Tail Pad Skimboard Traction

Yes, the modular design is engineered to fit virtually any skimboard shape. Because it consists of five separate pieces, you can adjust the spacing and positioning to accommodate everything from narrow pintails to wider, fuller tail shapes.

This pad uses high-strength 3M adhesive, which is the industry standard for marine traction. When applied to a clean, dry, and wax-free surface, it provides a secure, long-lasting bond that stands up well to repeated saltwater exposure.

The beveled kick tail provides a solid backstop for your rear foot. It gives you extra leverage when initiating turns or popping ollies, helping you lock your foot in place during aggressive maneuvers.

The ribbed arch bar is designed to provide tactile feedback, helping you quickly locate your foot position without looking down. It also adds a bit of ergonomic support, which can reduce foot fatigue during longer sessions.

You can easily install this yourself. Just ensure the tail of your board is completely free of old wax and residue using a citrus-based cleaner or wax remover, then apply the pieces firmly and let the adhesive cure for at least 24 hours before hitting the water.
