FCS Athlete Series Traction Pads. Designed and tested in collaboration with the world’s best surfers, the Athlete Series Traction range has rider specific features for the ultimate in performance.
The FCS x Nathan Florence 5-piece traction design allows custom grip placement to suit shortboards, step-ups, or longer performance boards. This pad delivers control, comfort, and confidence across a wide range of wave sizes, from 2ft rollers to 20ft giants.
Featuring diamond corduroy grooves and kick holes to reduce weight, the pad provides a secure, responsive feel underfoot while allowing natural board flex. Two extension panels can be placed in front of the main pad to support back foot movement on longer boards, providing added versatility and precision.
