DSURF Traction 2007 May 17, 2007

We have been working on our new traction for about a year, and it shows. We put a lot of thought and R and D into every aspect of the traction. The EVA is soft and thin and the aggro-groove pattern will keep you glued to your board. The backing is 3M HBPSA (High Bond Pressure Sensitive Adhesive) glue and simply will NOT peel up. We listened to our Team Riders and their own personal likes and dislikes are expressed in each pad. We have range of high tail kicks to low, medium arch bars to low and crazy cutout patterns to simple one piece pads. We ordered the traction 70% black and 30% colors. Check the photos below for a sprinkling of the colors and pads we offer. Not available yet on the website, check your local surf shop or give us a call.

Our Outer Banks beachbreak standout, Noah Snyder, rides a variety of boards, so he wanted something he could spread out on his fishes and keep tight on his thrusters. This 4 piece pad has a high kick and large arch that makes for a great pad for any board in your quiver.

The Mikala Jones pad: Essentially a 2 piece pad with an extremely high kick and a mellow teardrop arch. There are 2 extra pieces for the top to make a larger pad. Slots are cut out on both sides of the arch that bring the weight down and make for an all around high performance traction pad.

The Stop: Simply a tail kick for the groms that don't need a full pad or for that retro board that you don't want to kill the retro-look with a full size pad.

Nate Tyler: Our Central California aerial specialist wanted a super light pad. This 5 piece pad is littered with holes on both sides and in the center arch to make this the lightest pad in our lineup. With a high kick and a low arch, you are sure to stay connected to your board through your turns and airs.

For my newest addition to the quiver I chose the Nate Tyler Rasta pad. DSURF dog, Shiva is feeling rather irie.
