Additional Info
Three Piece Pads
Three piece pads are versatile for tail width and tail shape - the 3 pieces can be angled and spread to fit the widest range of shapes.
Aggressive/Back Foot Surfing
For shortboards and powerful waves. On performance shortboards or in waves with power, your back foot wants to be planted, locked in and not needing to move forward to aid trim. These pads want the most of all features: high arch, high kick and aggressive texture.
Materials
Most tail pads are made from EVA an expanded foam rubber. The density is rated on the Shore hardness scale - soft is more grippy but less durable and hard is less grippy but more durable.
Glue
Good glue is essential - poor quality glue will fail quickly making the pad useless. 3M is a brand name, supplying the best glues used for pads. Roam tail pads only use 3M glue.
Tailor the pad to your surfboard, with a pad that fits the tail, and can expand. The higher the arch, the more contact under your foot. A higher/more angled kick lets you lock your foot in for vertical, powerful surfing. In simple terms the rougher the texture, the more grippy the pad.
Position
When attaching your tail pad it’s important to put it as far back on the tail as the leash plug will allow. Never put it over the leash plug as the leash string will cause it to lift.
Returns
If you are not 100% satisfied with your purchase you may return it for a refund, or exchange within 30 days of receiving your order.
