Recycled Rubber Traction Pad
Why Your Board Needs a Recycled Rubber Traction Pad
5 Ways a Recycled Rubber Traction Pad Protects Your Gear
Prevents board slipping on car racks and roof carriers. The textured rubber surface grips firmly, so your board stays put even on bumpy roads or during sharp turns.
Protects your board's bottom from scratches and dings. A cushioned barrier between your board and hard surfaces keeps the underside looking new longer.
Stabilizes multiple items at once. Stack boards, skis, or other valuables without worrying they'll slide around during transport or storage.
Reduces vibration and noise during transport. The rubber absorbs shock, meaning less rattling and a quieter ride for your gear.
Made from upcycled materials, so you're keeping waste out of landfills. Every pad is a small but meaningful choice toward sustainable living.

Common Questions
How thick should a recycled rubber traction pad be?
A good recycled rubber traction pad should be at least half an inch thick to provide real cushioning and grip. Thinner pads compress too easily and don't protect your board effectively. Look for pads made from dense, high-quality upcycled rubber that won't flatten out after a few uses.
Can I use a recycled rubber traction pad on any surface?
Yes, recycled rubber traction pads work on car racks, roof carriers, garage floors, and storage shelves. The textured rubber grips most surfaces well. Just make sure the surface is reasonably clean so the pad makes full contact and doesn't slip.
How do I clean a recycled rubber traction pad?
Simply wipe it down with a damp cloth and mild soap. Dry it with a towel before placing your board back on. For stubborn dirt, use a soft brush. Avoid harsh chemicals that can degrade the rubber over time.
Will a recycled rubber traction pad damage my board?
No, a quality recycled rubber traction pad actually protects your board. The soft rubber won't scratch or dent your board's bottom. It acts as a buffer between your board and harder surfaces, keeping it safe during storage and transport.
How long does a recycled rubber traction pad last?
A well-made recycled rubber traction pad can last several years with normal use. Since they're made from durable upcycled materials, they hold up better than cheaper alternatives. The lifespan depends on how often you use it and the conditions it's exposed to.
Why choose recycled rubber over new rubber?
Recycled rubber keeps waste out of landfills and reduces the need for new petroleum-based materials. It's just as durable as new rubber but with a lower environmental impact. Plus, supporting recycled products encourages more sustainable manufacturing practices.
