Ho Stevie! Surfboard Traction Pad 3-Piece Full Size Black with White Palm Trees 12x12 3M Adhesive Grip

Designed for surfers who demand reliable grip without sacrificing comfort, this 12"x12" traction pad assembles into a continuous rear surface or can be spaced for a wider stance. Built with a soft-yet-grippy foam texture and a high-strength 3M adhesive backing, the pad resists peeling and provides predictable traction whether you cruise small waves or push hard on steeper faces.

How does the traction pad improve my stability on turns and cutbacks?

The textured surface bites underfoot so your back foot stays planted during aggressive turns and quick weight shifts. Its pattern channels water and increases bite, reducing foot slip while you pivot and carve.

• Textured foam for enhanced toe and heel purchase
• Full-size 12"x12" footprint supports varied foot placement
• Three-piece layout allows customized spacing for stance width

Will the pad damage my board or peel off in saltwater and sun?

The pad uses industrial-grade 3M adhesive formulated for marine conditions to cling securely to fiberglass, epoxy, and PU boards. When applied following the recommended prep steps, the adhesive resists moisture and UV exposure while removing cleanly if you ever replace it.

• Powerful 3M backing engineered for long-term stick
• Adhesive tolerates saltwater and temperature changes
• Removes without excessive damage when replaced properly

How comfortable is the pad for long sessions or wearing thin boardshorts?

The foam balances grip with a forgiving cushion so it won’t abrade knees or thin fabric during extended sessions. It keeps a secure feel underfoot without being overly harsh on contact points.

• Soft, high-friction foam reduces chafing on knees
• Minimal profile preserves board feel and pop
• Grippy but not abrasive for boardshort or wetsuit use

How do I position and install the three-piece pad for best results?

Clean the deck thoroughly, dry it, and test-place the pieces before removal of liners. Press each section firmly, starting from the center and working outward, then allow adhesive to set for several hours before entering the water.

• Clean deck with isopropyl alcohol for best adhesion
• Allow 24 hours cure time for full bond strength
• Arrange pieces together or spaced to match your stance preference
