OAM Michel Bourez Signature Traction Pad

The three-piece design allows you to adjust the width of the pad to fit the tail of your surfboard perfectly. You can spread the pieces out for a wider tail or keep them closer together for a narrower board, giving you more customization than a single-piece pad.

A medium arch provides a subtle point of reference for your back foot, helping you feel exactly where you are on the board without being intrusive. It offers more support for your arch during turns than a completely flat pad, which can help reduce foot fatigue during longer sessions.

Yes, the medium kick is designed to provide a solid backstop for your foot when you are pushing hard through turns. It offers enough leverage to drive off the tail without being so high that it gets in the way of your foot placement during maneuvers.

Because of its versatile medium arch and kick, this pad is designed to work well on almost any standard shortboard or performance groveler. It is a balanced, all-around option that doesn't lean too far into extreme performance or casual cruising.

The pad features a reliable grip pattern designed to maintain traction in various conditions. While it performs well in most temperatures, the grip is consistent enough that you won't feel like you are sliding around, even when you are pushing hard through critical sections.
