SURFING SUP SURFBOARD TRACTION PADS: A Comprehensive Product Description

Seafard's surfboard traction pads have been proven to be lighter, grippier, and thinner, providing better board feel and control than standard EVA pads. Utilizing the finest backing adhesive, these pads ensure a secure grip to your board and your feet, making them an essential accessory for any surfer.

Do you need a traction pad for surfing? The answer is a resounding yes. These 4-piece surfboard traction mats offer a practical solution, as placing a pad along the entire length of your board may not be feasible. Getting a new traction pad can be an exciting and anticipated addition to your surfing gear, as it serves as an important tool for keeping your back foot in place with its extra grip, while also indicating the ideal placement of your back foot.

Crafted with marine-grade EVA material, these traction pads boast a strong adhesive, shock absorption, and non-skid surfaces that are heat and UV resistant. Cleaning them is a breeze, as they can be easily washed with water, and installation is a straightforward process.

To install the surfboard's deck traction pads, first, remove any wax from your board. Then, pour some hot water on the traction pad to soften the material and make it easy to peel off. Ensure that your board is clean before applying the front traction pads, as this will ensure proper adhesion.

Start by laying a long piece of tape from tip to tail and centering it. Without peeling off the adhesive tape on the traction pads, place your tailpad and arch bar on the board, positioning them as desired. The tailpad should be as far back on the skimboard as possible, while the arch bar should be about 3-5 inches from the tip of the board, depending on your style. Once the placement is determined, outline the pads with a pencil (the pencil marks will easily wipe off).

Peel off the long piece of tape used for centering, then remove the adhesive covering on the traction pads and place them within the penciled outlines. Ensure to press down firmly on the pads to achieve a secure bond. Lastly, let the grip dry for 24 hours before taking your board for a surf, allowing the glue enough time to harden and prevent the pads from coming off.

Regarding the product's features, the EVA foam material is marine-grade, making it UV resistant and saltwater-proof. While no adhesive is truly permanent, the powerful adhesive used in these traction pads provides maximum stick to your board, allowing you to move smoothly without affecting performance.

These surfboard traction pads are widely compatible, suitable for all types of surfboards, skimboards, shortboards, and longboards. They can even be cut to any desired shape or stripe to fit your specific needs, such as for kayak seats, fish boards, funboards, boats, canoes, pool steps, and SUP paddle boards.

In summary, Seafard's surfboard traction pads offer superior grip, comfort, and durability, ensuring a more enjoyable and secure surfing experience. Whether you're looking to install a new traction pad or upgrade your existing one, these high-quality pads are the perfect solution for all your surfing needs.
