Firewire Front Foot Traction Pad

Inspired by surfers like Kevin Schulz, Timmy Reyes and others for whom mid-air grip is a must, the Firewire Front Foot traction pad is designed to hold tightly to your front foot in a variety of maneuvers, whether you’re an aerialist or weekend warrior. Cut from Firewire's most sensitive rectangle tread, the Firewire Front Foot pad is far thinner than most front foot traction pads because Firewire wanted it to feel most familiar to surfers stepping off wax for the first time, while still offering increased grip and traction above what wax provides. The best part? No potential for melting in heat or messing up your car. The Firewire Front Foot Pad is cut to suit the front foot position of any surfboard shape, whether performance, groveler or otherwise.

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

The BLOOM 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. Firewire is 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.

Through this patented algae-technology, they have 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.
