Installation is quick and secure, so you can get back in the water faster and ride with confidence.

Why Choose Traction Pads Over Surf Wax?

While surf wax can offer some grip, it comes with drawbacks:

• Attracts sand and debris, creating a gritty mess.
• Requires frequent reapplication as it melts or washes away.
• Uneven coverage leads to inconsistent traction underfoot.

In contrast, Slash traction pads provide a clean, maintenance-free solution. Once installed, they deliver consistent performance—no slipping, sliding, or crumbly mess.

Installation Guide

Step 1: Clean & Dry

Wipe your board’s deck with isopropyl alcohol to remove wax, dirt, and oils. Allow to dry completely.

Step 2: Position Pads

Peel backing from each pad. Align the front pad just above the fins or leash plug, and the two tail pads behind it, ensuring even spacing.

Step 3: Press & Seal

Apply firm pressure across the surface for 30 seconds. Let the adhesive cure for 24 hours before surfing.

People Also Ask

How long do traction pads last?

With proper installation and care, Slash traction pads can last multiple seasons—often longer than traditional wax applications.

Can I remove and reposition them?

While the 3M adhesive is strong, gentle heat (hairdryer) and careful peeling allow limited repositioning. Always clean residue before reapplying.

Will they damage my board’s finish?

No. High‑grade EVA foam and adhesive residue cleanly peel away without harming fiberglass or epoxy surfaces.
