SLATER DESIGNS | ARCH | 3 PIECE
Colour:  Black/Grey
Specifications:  12.5” W x 12.75” H square tread
RRP:  $70
Description:  Kelly’s newest approach to back foot traction. The 11x World Champion asked for an additional ‘cutaway’ on the arch, and all of you on Instagram asked for an arch pad with square tread. Our answer is the Slater Designs 3 Piece Arch Traction pad, with cutaway sections in the back third of the pad placed for turning tight off the bottom. Circular and parallel cutaways in the first two thirds have been placed for pumping with your foot further forward.

SLATER DESIGNS | ACTION | 5 PIECE
Colour:  Black/Grey
Specifications: 12.65” W x 13.5” H diamond tread
RRP:  $70
Description:  Kelly’s pad of choice (and named after his dog).
The Slater Designs 5 Piece Action Pad is Kelly’s favorite arch, with functional design from Kelly directly. He chopped a ‘ V ‘ into the tail kick to prevent your leash from catching and slit the arch. The arch support is just as wide as on our 3 and 5 piece Slater Designs pads but lower on this one. The square grooved edges on either side of the parallel slits give you a ‘hooked in’ feeling that other arch supports won’t, and the Action Pad also gives you options: a longer pad or a shorter pad, depending on how you chose to space the the side pieces from each other.
This traction pad provides the necessary grip to push hard through hacks and increase speed and drive through every turn with cutouts that create a closer connection to the board, giving you complete control.

Slater Designs Grip Material

Made with algae.

BLOOM is a high-performance flexible foam made from algae biomass harvested from freshwater sources throughout the world. BLOOM’s foam process:

• Helps improve the quality of waterways by removing excess algae that harms plants, animals, and people who rely on the ecosystem for survival.
• Recirculates fresh water back into the habitat.
• Aids CO2 capture and sequestration. We’re literally scraping pond scum, solar drying, and pulverizing it before foaming the material to create a pad that helps re-balance the natural ecology, and reduces our dependence on non-renewable oil.

This patented algae technology has created a product with increased durability, improved shock absorption and reduced weight over conventional foams. The packaging is made with post-consumer backing, soy-based inks and a biodegradable wrapping. Better for your surfing, better for the planet.
