FAQs
Can I remove the pad and reuse it?
No. The 3M adhesive is designed for a single permanent application. Removing it will likely ruin the adhesive backing.
Does this pad work on epoxy boards?
Yes, as long as the board surface is clean and free of wax, the adhesive is compatible with both polyester and epoxy resin finishes.
How thick is the foam?
The pad is constructed from 4mm thick lightweight EVA foam.
What is the size of the total pad?
The complete pad measures 12 inches by 12.3 inches (30.5cm x 31.3cm).
How long should I wait before surfing?
It is highly recommended to wait at least 24 hours after application to ensure the adhesive bond is fully cured.
Troubleshooting
Pad edges are peeling shortly after installation.
The board surface likely had residual wax or oil during application. Use a dedicated board cleaner and ensure the area is 100% dry before reapplying.
Pad feels too narrow or wide for the board tail.
The three-piece design is modular. Adjust the gaps between the side pieces and the center piece to match the width of your specific surfboard tail.
Pros and Cons

- Highly adjustable three-piece modular layout
- Aggressive 25mm kick tail for better leverage

Cons

- Center arch may not suit riders who prefer a completely flat deck
- Requires 24-hour curing time before water exposure
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure proper adhesion, start by removing all old wax and residue from your surfboard tail using a wax comb and citrus-based cleaner. Ensure the surface is completely dry and room temperature before applying. When placing the pad, ensure the 3M adhesive does not touch the board until you have confirmed your desired width. After applying, apply firm, even pressure across the entire surface to activate the adhesive. Wait at least 24 hours before taking the board into the water to allow the bond to fully set. Avoid storing the board in extreme heat or direct sunlight for extended periods to maintain the integrity of the foam.
