Creatures of Leisure Mick Fanning Traction Pad

The pad combines Square Loc and THERMO-LITE patterns to balance grip and weight. Square Loc provides a reliable, locked-in feel for aggressive maneuvers, while the THERMO-LITE micro-dot finish keeps the overall weight down without compromising traction.

The EcoPure additive is designed to make the foam biodegradable over time, reducing its environmental impact. Crucially, this process does not alter the density or durability of the foam, so you get the same performance as a standard traction pad.

The 28mm Table Top kick is quite substantial, which is ideal for surfers who rely on a defined edge for leverage during sharp turns or airs. If you prefer a flatter, more minimal feel for smaller, mushier waves, this might feel a bit aggressive.

Yes, 3M adhesive is the industry standard for traction pads and is highly reliable in various water temperatures. To ensure the best bond, make sure your board is clean, dry, and at room temperature before applying the pad, and let it set for at least 24 hours before surfing.

The strategic cut-outs allow for more direct contact between your foot and the board's deck. This creates a more tactile connection, giving you better feedback and control when you are engaging your rails or setting up for a turn.
