Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I reposition the pad after it has been stuck down?

No, the 3M adhesive is designed for a one-time, permanent application. Ensure your alignment is correct before peeling the backing.

What is the thickness of the pad?

The base EVA material is 3mm thick, providing a lightweight feel that maintains good board control.

How high is the tail kick?

The Vol. 2 features a 30mm tail kick, which offers a secure backstop for aggressive surfing.

Will this fit on a longboard?

While it can technically be installed on any board, it is specifically shaped for the tail outlines of shortboards and performance hybrids.

How long should I wait before surfing after applying the pad?

We recommend waiting at least 24 hours to allow the adhesive to fully bond with the fiberglass deck.

Is the pad comfortable for barefoot surfing?

Yes, the smooth texture areas are designed specifically to minimize foot irritation while providing grip where it counts.

Troubleshooting

Pad edges lifting shortly after application

Usually caused by wax residue on the board. Ensure the deck is completely clean before applying the adhesive.

Pad feels slippery

Clean the surface of the pad with fresh water to remove salt crystallization or sand buildup.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Hybrid texture design balances comfort and grip
  • High-profile 30mm tail kick is excellent for deep turns
  • Lightweight EVA material does not waterlog
  • Uses high-grade 3M adhesive for long-term durability

Cons

  • Requires a clean, wax-free deck for optimal adhesion
  • Three-piece design requires precise manual alignment
  • Not suitable for foam boards or textured non-glass surfaces

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure maximum performance, follow these steps for installation:

  1. Prepare the Surface: Remove all old wax and residue using a wax comb and citrus-based cleaner. The deck must be completely dry and free of oil.
  2. Layout: Before peeling the backing, place the three pieces on the tail of your board to determine the desired spacing. Most surfers prefer a slight gap between pieces for a custom fit.
  3. Application: Peel the 3M backing and apply the pieces, starting from the tail kick. Apply firm, even pressure across the entire surface.
  4. Curing: Let the board sit for at least 24 hours without hitting the water to allow the 3M adhesive to achieve a full cure.
  5. Care: Avoid using harsh chemicals to clean the pad; mild soap and fresh water are sufficient to keep the EVA material clean and tacky.
