DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Enhanced Grip and Hold
The CORE Front Traction Pad features deep grooves and precise chamfers for constant grip. When you're loading up for a turn or landing a strapless air, you get a reliable connection to your board that prevents slipping, no wax needed.
Control During Airs
The innovative longitudinal channels improve your finger grip for board grabs, giving you more control during airs. We recommend this pad if you're looking for more precision in your strapless rotations and landings.
Minimalist and Continuous Design
CORE designed this as a single-piece front pad, eliminating the separate center piece. This creates a smooth, continuous surface for your front foot, giving you total freedom and comfort for linking tricks and transitions.
Compatibility and Integration
Designed for a perfect fit on CORE surfboards like the Ripper, Green Room, 720, and Badger, this pad maintains a low profile while significantly improving your grip. We recommend checking the fit on other board models before applying it.
