Gorilla Grip Phat Three Traction Pad

Hybrid boards typically feature wider tails than standard shortboards. The Phat Three is designed with a wider footprint to ensure you have traction across the entire tail area, preventing your foot from slipping off the edges during turns.

The three-piece construction allows you to adjust the width of the pad. You can spread the pieces further apart to accommodate wider tail shapes, giving you a customized fit that a single-piece pad cannot offer.

The Copperhead arch is designed to provide a secure reference point for your back foot without being overly intrusive. It offers enough support to lock your foot in during maneuvers while remaining low-profile enough to stay out of the way when you are just cruising.

The perforations serve two purposes: they reduce the overall weight of the pad and improve water flow. This helps the pad dry faster and prevents water from pooling under your foot, which can sometimes cause the pad to feel slippery.

Yes, the medium tail kick provides a solid, reliable backstop for your foot. It offers enough leverage to push hard through turns without being so steep that it catches your foot during transitions or cross-stepping.
