View full detailsTraction pads are one of the most important upgrades you can add to your kiteboard, surfboard, foilboard, or wing board. They give riders superior grip, stability, comfort, and control—especially in high-speed carving, strapless freestyle, or foiling maneuvers where foot placement and confidence matter most.
Welcome to the Elite Water Sports Traction Pads Collection, a curated lineup of high-quality deck pads from armstrong, dakine, mystic, and rideengine. These pads are chosen by our instructors and pro riders who use them in the challenging conditions of Tampa Bay, St. Petersburg, and the Gulf Coast—where choppy water, strong wind, and strapless riding demand superior deck traction.
Whether you want a tailpad for strapless jumping, a front pad for foiling stability, or a full-deck solution for surf-style riding, this collection has exactly what you need.
High-performance traction pads improve every session in several ways:
✔ Better grip for strapless riding
Ideal for surf-style kiteboarding and wing foiling.

Prevents slipping during carves, gybes, and tacks.
