Firewire Weekend 4-Piece Traction Pad

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.

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.
