How a Sustainable Traction Pad Protects Your Board
Common Questions
What makes this traction pad sustainable compared to regular rubber pads?
This sustainable traction pad is made from upcycled wetsuits and rubber scraps that would otherwise end up in landfills. Traditional rubber pads are often made from virgin materials or synthetic blends, which require more energy to produce. By using post-consumer waste, we reduce landfill impact, lower manufacturing emissions, and create a product with genuine purpose. It's the same grip and durability, just with a conscience.
Will the pad damage my surfboard or leave marks?
No. The upcycled rubber is soft enough to protect your board's finish while providing strong grip. It won't leave permanent marks, stains, or residue. In fact, it protects against the marks and dents that hard surfaces would cause. Just wipe it clean occasionally if dust accumulates, and it'll perform like new.
How long does a sustainable traction pad last?
A quality upcycled rubber pad lasts for years with normal use. Because it's made from durable reclaimed materials, it resists cracking and degradation better than cheaper alternatives. Most surfers get 3-5 years or more of reliable grip, depending on storage conditions and frequency of use. It's a one-time investment that pays off.
Can I use it for other things besides surfboards?
Absolutely. A sustainable traction pad works great for any item that needs grip and protection, like travel bags, camera gear, or valuables you're storing. The XL size is especially versatile. Many people use them in their homes to prevent furniture from sliding on hardwood floors or to protect surfaces from scratches.
Is it really made in the USA?
Yes. This pad is manufactured in the USA using upcycled materials sourced domestically. Supporting local production means you're reducing shipping emissions and supporting American workers and manufacturers who care about quality and sustainability.
How do I clean and maintain my traction pad?
Simply wipe it down with a damp cloth to remove dust and salt spray. Let it air dry completely before using it again. Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. No special treatments needed. The upcycled rubber is tough and doesn't require the maintenance that some synthetic alternatives do.
