Ho Stevie! Premium Surfboard Traction Pad [Choose Color] 3 Piece, Full Size, Maximum Grip, 3M Adhesive, for Surfing or Skimboarding

Just to compare, I bought 2 of these and 2 others that were about 5 bucks cheaper on Amazon. After a 12 day surf trip, the results were clear! The other China brand came off in three pieces on day 2, 3 and 4🤐 Ho Stevie was perfectly stuck to the board and looked like new. I ended up returning the 2nd China one which we never used. Ho Stevie is the real deal, don't cheap out! You will end up polluting the ocean with trash that doesn't hold up in the water.

This is a crazy story. Today I was surfing my favourite, rocky hook in Half Moon Bay, but the tide was less than ideal; Only high enough to conceal the jagged rocks below. Riding my Gerry Lopez soft top, A wave too steep can cause me to pearl. -- Which dam near happened to me on top of a rocky outcropping in a 6' wave. I could see it coming, I could just envision myself going forward off the board and nose diving, When a miracle happened: When I drew back my plant foot, I could feel the roller-pad on back of this traction grip give me the leverage I needed. Like the wind beneath me wings, I pushed against it with the most satisfying stance -- I got pitted, slid into the bowl, and surfed that wall all the way to the beach.

Comfortable, looks good, reasonably priced, and after ~10 sessions it's not coming off:)Application process that worked well for me: First check that the two side pads have identical shapes -- yup, seemed they cut it precisely. Then pencil mark the leading and trailing edges of the middle pad and line the marks up on the stringer -- of your extremely clean board. Peel back the adhesive covering slightly (~1cm) at the leading edge, apply it to the board, press firmly, peel some more, press, ... Similarly for the side pads. Then press all over the pads for another few minutes.

This is a great track pad and wonderful alternative to the higher priced brands. Has a nice feel to it, moderate center arch and kick tail. Have been using it on my 5'4 fish and really like it. Seems to stick really well...ordered a second one for my new 5'7 thruster. I only gave it 3 stars for durability because I only used it for a month before traveling for a few months but about to head off for 6 months of daily surfing as I work at a surf resort in the Maldives so I will really put them to the test and provide an update but for now I am stoked on the Ho Stevie pad!also I dig the palm trees! Hahaha

I've generally been pleased with Ho Stevie but this one didn't work. I cleaned my board well before putting the pads on but they still fell off soon afterward. The adhesive was not good at all. Pretty disappointed.

I first started surfing back in 1960 when I bought my first board, a 9'2" Dewey Weber. In 1998 I purchased my present board a G&S thruster. Since gaining a little weight. I found it now necessary to stiffen my board a bit. So I did all the work making ding repairs and then adding a new 4 oz layer of glass to stiffen the board. The traction pad is just because of my style. I like the comfort and style of the pad. Thanks, much.Dennis pointbreakrider, retired US Army 1/27 inf

I have two of these trackpads. One on a fish and one on a shortboard. So far the short board has held up for over a year. The fish pad is brand new and I love it. Thanks Stevie

Gotta love the palm trees.I have been skimboarding at the wedge for a week with them on and the 3M adhesives hold pretty well.No signs of peeling.NOW THE HOW TO:Make sure you clear out any wax, sand, etc. and use a Windex to clean the surface.Wait a while to let dry, and apply the pads.Wait 24 hours and hit the beach!
