Firewire Machado 2+1 Flat Traction Pad (Charcoal/Black)

One pad for every board – The two plus one can either be a two-piece flat pad or a three-piece flat pad, depending on how wide of a flat pad you want.

Inspired by the wide tails on Rob Machado’s more grovely board models, this pad works well on shapes like Rob’s Moonbeam or even wider tails like Dan Mann’s Chumlee. Its also the awesome, eco friendly BLOOM – the performance standard for shortboard traction, that also helps make the world a cleaner place.

Designed with square tread, it enables board feel with extreme sensitivity; a favorite tread for surfers who haven’t traditionally loved traction.

BLOOM is a high-performance flexible foam made from algae biomass harvested from freshwater sources throughout the world. The BLOOM 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.

Through this patented algae-technology, we have 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.

By choosing this traction, you are helping make the world a cleaner place.
