THE BIGGEST REVOLUTION IN SURF TRACTION SINCE IT WAS INVENTED

After 3 years of intensive development with World Champs Mick Fanning and Italo Ferreira, Creature of Leisure created a traction pad that both elevates your surfing and drastically reduces manufacturing waste.

THE UGLY TRUTH: 67% WASTE

Traction has been left in the dust. Nearly 50 years from its creation, traction has yet to take the giant revolutionary leap like surfboards, leashes, wetsuits, fins and boardshorts have. 
Surf grip is still made using the same inefficient and limiting processes as it has for decades.
Currently, making one tail pad creates 67%* EVA foam waste. And with anywhere from 13 to 24 Million surfboards being sold each year, it’s an ugly truth that produces a mountain of EVA foam off-cuts and dust.
*analysis undertaken using Creatures of Leisure Icon III pad using industry standard manufacturing methods

WHY IS MOULDED TRACTION BUILT BETTER?

Instead of cutting from blank EVA foam blocks, every element is made using moulded technology for ultimate precision.

PROTO™1.4 reduces waste to just 5%!

We mix in EcoPure® organic additive to the EVA formula ensuring the material biodegrades at its end of life. 

The end result is an ultra-precise tail pad that creates radically less waste and ultimate performance.

More grip. Less waste.

 

RECOIL KICK: SPRING LOADED KICK TAILS

"I love! Can I get a steeper kick?" - Italo

The RECOIL kick is where it all started and was identified as a potential game-changing component to modern surfing. The rear hex pattern offers a natural folding point that springs back when compressed. The steep alpine kick provides engaged response through critical manoeuvres.

The form-fitting concave underside is designed for the convex deck of a performance surfboard for premium application. A channel on the top of the kick allows flex to form-fit any shaped deck. 

Italo steepened the kick to a 46° angle.

Prototype Notes: The increased kick angle raised its overall height from 32mm to 38mm.
