Shane Dorian
Best traction pad for surfers seeking precise control in big waves.
Built for big-wave precision, this pad prioritizes board feel without sacrificing the aggressive lock-in you need for high-performance maneuvers. The biodegradable foam construction is a welcome nod to sustainability, though the aggressive 25mm kick means it’s strictly for surfers who prefer a locked-in, planted stance over a loose, sliding feel.
