Dakine Wideload Surf Traction Pad

The Wideload is specifically designed for wider board shapes like fish, grovelers, or alternative outlines that standard pads don't cover effectively. Its 14-inch width provides the extra surface area needed to ensure your back foot stays planted on the deck, rather than slipping off the edge.

The three-piece construction allows you to customize the width of the pad to match your specific tail shape. You can spread the pieces further apart for wider boards or keep them closer together for a narrower tail, giving you more flexibility than a fixed one-piece pad.

Yes, this pad uses marine-grade 3M adhesive, which is the industry standard for surf traction. It is designed to maintain a secure, long-lasting bond across various water temperatures, provided you apply it to a clean, dry, and wax-free surface.

The 25mm vertical wedge is a relatively aggressive kick, designed to give you a solid backstop for your foot during hard turns. It provides reliable leverage, allowing you to push against the tail with confidence without worrying about your foot sliding off the back.

No, the biodegradable foam is engineered to offer the same performance, grip, and durability as standard EVA foam. It provides the same essential traction and support while being a more environmentally conscious choice for your gear.
