Stay Covered Shortboard Traction Pad

4.6

Best reliable grip for performance surfers seeking long lasting board traction.

This five-piece pad prioritizes aggressive, directional grip with a specialized diamond pattern that locks your foot in during hard turns. While the biodegradable foam construction is a win for the planet, the real standout is the steep, multi-angle tail kick that provides serious leverage when you need to push hard.
