FCS Julian Wilson Traction Pad

This pad is specifically designed for groms, or younger surfers, with a smaller footprint and thinner construction. While it could technically fit a smaller board, most adults will find the dimensions too restrictive for standard foot placement.

The trapeze arch bar is shaped to provide a specific, locked-in feel under the arch of your foot. It offers a more defined reference point for your back foot, which helps with positioning during turns and maneuvers.

The double square groove pattern creates a multi-directional grip that holds your foot securely in place. It is designed to provide a consistent, locked-in feel without being overly abrasive on your skin.

Yes, the perforations and channels serve two main purposes: they reduce the overall weight of the pad and help water flow off the board quickly. This keeps the pad lighter and maintains better traction during aggressive surfing.

The high tail kick is designed to act as a backstop, giving you a solid point of leverage for aggressive turns and snaps. It is positioned to be out of the way when you are cruising but provides immediate feedback when you push back against it.
