AQUBONA EVA Traction Pad 5-Piece Surfboard Grip, Black (5+1), 3–5mm Thin Peel-and-Stick

AQUBONA’s five-piece EVA traction pad gives your surfboard a secure, lightweight, and peel-and-stick rear deck grip designed for better control and comfort while riding.

Whether you’re upgrading a fish board, funboard, skimboard or longboard, this 5-piece set delivers targeted traction at the tail where it matters most. Made from grade A EVA foam with a strong Green Label adhesive, each pad is thin yet durable so it adds grip without excess bulk. The pads are easy to install, adaptable to different board shapes, and usable on other wet surfaces such as kayaks, canoes, boats, and pool steps.

How does the AQUBONA traction pad improve my foot stability?

The EVA foam surface increases friction between your bootie or bare foot and the board, helping you land turns and maintain balance. The textured finish and raised profile at the back give a tactile reference point for your rear foot, reducing slips during maneuvers. Because the pad is segmented, it conforms to curved tails and nonstandard shapes better than single-piece pads.

• Textured EVA foam provides consistent slip resistance in wet conditions.
• Raised tail section offers heel anchoring for sharper turns.
• Five separate pieces allow flexible placement on rounded outlines.
• Thin 3–5 mm construction keeps board feel intact while adding grip.

Will these pads stick securely to my surfboard and other gear?

Each pad uses authentic Green Label adhesive formulated for marine applications to deliver a strong initial tack and long-term hold when applied to clean, dry surfaces. Proper installation—wiping the deck free of wax and oils and pressing firmly during application—ensures the adhesive bonds well. If you apply to non-traditional surfaces like kayaks or pool steps, the same prep steps help maximize adhesion.

• Grade A adhesive suited for marine and wet environments.
• Recommended surface prep: clean, dry, and wax-free before sticking.
• Press and cure for best long-term performance; avoid immediate heavy use.

What are the measurements, weight, and material details I should know?

The standard pad size is approximately 12.9 x 13.8 inches (33 x 34 cm) per piece and the full set is ultra-light, around 100 g. The foam thickness ranges from 3 to 5 mm, balancing comfort with board sensitivity. Constructed from premium EVA, the pads resist water absorption, maintain grip when wet, and stand up to sand and regular surfboard wear.

• Dimensions: 12.9" x 13.8" (33 x 34 cm) per pad; set weight ~100 g.
• EVA thickness 3–5 mm for comfort without losing board feel.
• Durable, lightweight material that tolerates saltwater and sand.

How do I position and maintain the five-piece pad layout?

Space the pieces evenly across the tail’s width to match your stance and the board’s shape; the segmented design is especially useful on tapered or fish tails. Remove old wax and degrease the deck before applying, then align each section and press firmly to set. To maintain performance, rinse with fresh water after use and avoid prolonged sun exposure when possible.

• Layout tip: mirror pads across the centerline for balanced traction.
• Maintenance: rinse after saltwater sessions and store out of direct sun.
• Installation: remove wax, degrease, align, and press firmly to bond.

Who this is for: Surfers and board riders looking for a low-profile, reliable tail grip — including owners of funboards, fish boards, skimboards, bodyboards, and longboards. It’s also a practical non-slip solution for kayaks, canoes, boats, and pool steps for anyone who needs stable footing on wet surfaces.
