The long awaited Slater Designs surfboard tail pads have landed!

This 3 Piece Arch traction pad has been designed for maximum grip through hacks and aggressive turns, maintaining speed and drive through every manouvre. The cut-outs also create a more natural “closer to the board” locked-in feel.

Always the innovator with an eye on the environment and sustainability, Kelly has teamed with BLOOM Foam to develop what is undoubtedly THE most eco-friendly surfboard traction pads on the market today.

BLOOM is a high performance flexible foam made from algae biomass which has been harvested from freshwater sources around the globe.

The process literally involves skimming “pond scum” from affected sources, solar drying, pulverizing it and then foaming and forming into tail pads!

This patented technology results in a lighter, more durable and cushioned tail pad and at the same time improves the water quality in waterways by reducing the suffocating algae and re circulating fresh water back into the environment.
