Pro-Lite The Wide Ride Black
Best traction pad for surfers riding wider fish or hybrid boards.
Designed specifically for wider-tailed fish and hybrid boards, this traction pad uses a unique micro-dot pattern to keep things incredibly light and responsive. You trade the aggressive, deep-cut grip of traditional pads for a smoother, rash-free surface that stays dry and comfortable during long sessions in tropical water.
