About this item

  • 🕯 ELIMINATE THE NEED FOR WAX - When you add a front traction pad to your surfboard, you don’t need to use wax for grip. This means no messy melted wax on your car or at the beach when you leave your surfboard in the sun.
  • ⚖️ LIGHTWEIGHT - All four pieces of the front traction pad weigh a total of 3.7oz, which is likely less than the weight of wax on your surfboard.
  • 👣 FULL SIZE PAD - 16” tall and 14.5” wide when all 4 pieces are laid side by side. We recommend spreading the pads apart equally across the width of your surfboard, as shown in the pictures.
  • 🥇 PREMIUM QUALITY - Same material and pattern as our rear traction pads. Powerful 3M adhesive provides maximum stick to your board.
  • 💯 100% SATISFACTION GUARANTEE: As with all of our products, if you are not completely satisfied for ANY reason with your front traction pad, simply return it within 30 days for a full refund.

Product Description

surfboard front traction pad

Surfboard Front Traction Pad

No need for wax

Apply this HIGH QUALITY front traction pad to your surfboard deck, and forget about using wax ever again! Lock your front foot into place with this grippy EVA foam (trim to custom shape if you want).

Front traction matches our rear traction

Front pad pairs perfectly with our rear pad, if you have one of those already.

Keep it tropical with the palm tree pattern, or keep it classic with plain black.

Less waste, less money

We don’t use cardboard packaging for our front traction pads. This means less environmental waste, less money spent on packaging and shipping (the money saved gets passed on to you).

Join thousands of Ho Stevie! fans, and add some front traction to your surfboard with this pad.

  • Powerful 3M adhesive for maximum stick to your surfboard

  • Full size. Measures 16" tall and 14.5 wide when all four pieces are laid side by side.
  • Pads can be trimmed to custom shape
  • Palm Tree pattern if you like tropical vibes, or keep it classic with plain Black

Installing Front Traction Pads On Your Surfboard

remove wax from surfboard

clean surfboard

surfboard stance

peel and stick front traction pads

Remove any wax from your surfboard. Leave it in the sun so the wax starts to melt, then scrape it off.

Remove any residue with your choice of household cleaner and paper towel. (We don't recommend using wax remover, as this can leave a slippery residue) It is​ very important to have a clean surfboard before you apply the front traction pads, otherwise they will not stick properly!

Lay the pads on your board, to find the perfect placement. Stand next to your board, with your normal stance, to determine where to put the front traction. You can mark on your surfboard with a pencil or marker, where you want the front pads to go.

Carefully peel the backing off front pads, and lay them on the board, one at a time. Firmly press on the entire area of the pads so they properly adhere to your board. Wait 24 hours before surfing for complete adhesion.

Update! I have now 12 of my boards in my quiver that are no wax! Super intuitive feel, one wave and you will love this system. Just give it a try and you will dig on the no wax hassle, with super performance at a killer price. Stoked!Thanks Steve!Looking forward to trying this system / I have been rocking Steve’s rear deck pad for some time and am so stoked in the feel and performance from them. I am taking a board out of the quiver and trying this forward deck pad for the Southies due here soon (I hope) in North San Diego county. I will follow up with a report as soon as I get some shoulder high plus waves. If it is of value I noticed immediately that it is super light weight compared to having wax.Super stoked! I thought I was going to have to go through a period to get used to the front pad. I am here to say that if you are reading this review, pull the trigger and you will not be disappointed! Two waves and I was ripping the tops off of waves and felt super confident. I am going to get one for my twinnie for the summer fun!

Really nice traction pad for about half the price of similar products from popular surf brands. Got the front and tail pad for my surfboard and I will be getting a front pad for my Wakesurf board and other surfboard. It will be nice to not need wax again.
