DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Enhanced Grip and Hold
The CORE Front Traction Pad is built with deep grooves and precise chamfers to offer consistent grip. When you're loading up for technical maneuvers or landing strapless jumps, you'll feel reliable hold that limits slipping, all without needing wax.
Control During Airs
Innovative longitudinal channels provide better finger grip and improve the connection between your feet and the board. We recommend this pad if you're looking for more precision in your strapless rotations and landings.
Minimalist and Continuous Design
Core has gone with a continuous front pad, ditching the separate central pad. This design choice gives you a smooth, comfortable surface across your entire front foot, perfect for nailing tricks and transitions without any hang-ups.
Compatibility and Integration
This pad integrates perfectly with CORE surfboards (Ripper, Green Room, 720, Badger). It maintains a discreet profile and significantly improves grip. We advise checking compatibility with other board models before installation.
