DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Grip and Direct Connection
The Duotone Traction Pad D/LAB Front 2026 uses premium EVA foam with a 4 mm thickness to deliver powerful grip while maintaining a direct feel. This gives you an immediate, solid connection between your feet and the board, which is essential for pulling off technical moves and staying in control under pressure.
Comfort and Lightness
The pad's thin profile keeps you closer to the board and reduces fatigue during long sessions. The materials were chosen for the perfect compromise between comfort and light weight, letting you stay precise without sacrificing durability.
Precision in Strapless Surfing
Designed for performance strapless riding, this front pad improves precision in your turns and provides direct power transfer. We recommend it for riders who want to get the most out of their D/LAB board shapes when riding hard.
Compatibility and Finish
The pad is designed to fit D/LAB boards perfectly, with cutouts that reduce weight without compromising grip. Its single colorway and design match the look of the D/LAB range.
