Dakine Superlite Surf Traction Pad

Dakine Superlite Surf Traction Pad A high-performance tail pad engineered for the weight-conscious surfer, featuring a minimalist design and strategic cut-outs to provide maximum grip with the lowest possible weight.

The Dakine Superlite Surf Traction Pad is the result of focused engineering aimed at enhancing board sensitivity and speed. By utilising a unique cut-out pattern, Dakine has stripped away unnecessary material, making this one of the lightest pads on the market. This reduction in weight at the tail of the board allows for quicker rotations and a more responsive feel during critical manoeuvres. Despite its lightweight nature, the Superlite does not compromise on traction; the Positraction grid pattern provides a dependable, locked-in feel, ensuring your back foot stays exactly where it needs to be when the waves turn on.

Key Features

• Ultra-Lightweight EVA Foam: Constructed from premium, high-density EVA foam that offers excellent cushioning and durability while maintaining a minimal weight profile.

• Superlite Cut-Out Pattern: Features a strategic hole-pattern design that significantly reduces the overall weight of the pad without sacrificing surface grip.

• Dakine Positraction Grid: Utilises a proven pyramid-style texture that provides multi-directional grip and prevents foot slippage in all conditions.

• Three-Piece Design: Offers the flexibility to spread the side panels out for wider-tailed boards or keep them tight for a narrower performance shortboard.

• 7mm Centre Arch: Provides a tactile reference point for foot placement and extra leverage for driving through turns.

• 25mm Vert Wedge Tail Kick: Features a steep, reinforced kick with bevelled edges to provide a secure backstop for your foot during heavy hacks and air rotations.

• 3M High-Grade Adhesive: Equipped with industry-leading adhesive backing to ensure a permanent and secure bond to the surfboard deck.

Best For

• Performance shortboarders who are looking to reduce the "swing weight" of their board for faster snaps and aerials.

• Surfers who prefer a more direct, sensitive connection to their board without the bulk of a traditional heavy pad.

• Competition surfers where every minor weight reduction can contribute to a technical advantage in the water.
