Captain Fin Co. Trooper 2 Traction Pad
Best versatile grip for surfers seeking reliable board control and comfort.
Finally, a traction pad that actually respects the geometry of a fish or swallow tail. By splitting the grip into four adjustable pieces, it lets you customize the width to match your board perfectly. You sacrifice the simplicity of a one-piece pad, but you gain the locked-in control that wider tails usually lack.
