The World’s Winningest Surfboard Traction Pads
There’s one surfboard grip pattern that’s won more world titles than any other - the CREATURES Square Loc (Mick Fanning x 3, Steph Gilmore x 8, Italo Ferreira x 1, Chelsea Georgeson x 1, and counting). Throw in Italo’s historic surfing Gold Medal and it has proven to hold up at the highest levels of performance. That’s extra confidence when throwing yourself over the ledge of your local slab, or trying to land a full-rote for the first time in a wave pool.
However, even if two surfboard traction pads have Square Loc on them, they’re often not the same. You might need a tail pad to suit a fish tail shape, you might want full deck grip to avoid using wax, or you might want something with the personality of your favourite pro.
To help narrow things down, we’ve put together a handy guide on finding the best surfboard tail pad for you. Read it here.
PROTO™ Moulded Traction: Next-Level Grip Built For The Future
The drive to create the best surf grip never stops. We spent three years in development with Mick Fanning and Italo Ferreira to completely rethink how a surf tail pad is made.
Moulding the surf tail pad instead of cutting it from foam blocks creates an incredibly precise pattern. It also stops perfectly good material from ending up in landfill. This Good Design Award-winning process achieves a 67% reduction in manufacturing waste. You get maximum control and a much smaller environmental footprint.
This is the future of surf traction. Top tier surfers like Ethan Ewing, Griffin Colapinto, and Molly Picklum already rely on PROTO™ technology to push their limits. Explore the PROTO™ collection here and choose a pad that benefits both your surfing and the planet.
Tail Pads and Deck Grips For Groms
We’ve tailored our surfboard traction range for all sorts of surfers. There are our grom tail pads for little frothers, THERMO-LITE materials for those who want a tailpad that’s 20% thinner, or full deck options for air lords and longboarders alike. There’s even Mick Fanning’s latest edition to the range - Mick’s Performance Twin Fin Tail Pad.
