Why use traction? For surfers and advanced skimboarders, traction pads assist your rear foot in getting more grip while on the board, giving you the opportunity to pull more aggressive maneuvers. Once planted, the traction pad’s kick tail anchors your back foot lending to harder snaps and aerial maneuvers.

Do I need a tail pad for a beginner skimboard? Though a beginner skimboarder may not be pulling airs and tricks, the tail pad let’s the rider know where to land their back foot as they advance their skill. That said, flat or arched will serve that purpose well. A second consideration is that, if you feel you may want to add a traction pad in the future, it’s best to consider putting it on while the board is new. The pad will stick best to clean, new surface vs. one that may have some surf wax residue.

Which tail pad is right for me? With any product there are features and benefits… the promise of performance. While some features are key, such as closed cell foam for minimal water absorption and embossing for added grip and color fastness, others are personal choice. Rider preference options include arch or flat, 1 piece or multi-piece, colors and carve patterns.
