Kelly's newest approach to back foot traction.

The 11x World Champion asked for an additional ‘cutaway’ on the arch, and all of you on Instagram asked for an arch pad with square tread. Our answer is the Slater Designs 3 Piece Arch Traction pad, with cutaway sections in the back third of the pad placed for turning tight off the bottom. Circular and parallel cutaways in the first two thirds have been placed for pumping with your foot further forward.

Made with algae.

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

This patented algae technology has 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.

Better for your surfing, better for the planet.
