Firewire Weekend Thin Foot 4 Piece Traction Pad
Firewire Weekend Thin Foot 4 Piece Traction Pad
The Firewire Weekend 4 piece surfboard tail pad has landed; it looks great, is super-light and feels incredibly grippy!
Designed for the surfer seeking trim and glide above all else, but just enough grip to accommodate drawn out shoulder turns better than wax can, the Weekend pad was created with mid lengths in mind. Designed in four pieces, the Weekend is longer than most traction pads, cut specifically to accommodate different turning positions beneath your back foot, whether climbing the wave face with back foot more forward on the tail, or cutting sharp angles in the pocket with back foot behind the fin cluster. Riding mid length surfboards creates opportunity for shuffling stance, and the Weekend accommodates this perfectly.
Firewire have collaborated with BLOOM Foam to create a collection of traction pads for the modern surfer with an eye on environmental issues and sustainability.
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.
