Duotone Traction Pad Team Front 2024

Maintenance of your Duotone Traction Pad Team Front

Rinse the pads with fresh water after every session to remove salt, sand, and dirt. Salt crystals can break down the adhesive over time, so a thorough rinse significantly extends their lifespan.

Let the pads air-dry in the shade. Avoid prolonged direct sunlight and artificial heat such as hair dryers or radiators, as these can damage the EVA material.

Regularly check the edges and adhesive side for peeling or damage. If a section starts to come loose, thoroughly clean the affected area before reattaching the pad.

Store the pads in a dry, cool, flat place, preferably in the original packaging or a bag with the cardboard inserts inside until they are installed. Never store them under heavy pressure or rolled up, as this can leave permanent marks in the material. Avoid contact with solvents, sunscreen, and chemicals that can damage the material.

What is the Duotone Traction Pad Team Front?

It’s an 8-piece front pad set for kite surfboards, delivering superior grip for wave riding and strapless freestyle. It’s the same pad ridden by Duotone’s world champions.

How thick is the pad set?

The pads are just 3 mm thick, so you maintain close contact with the board and the familiar board feel under your feet.

Can I position the pads on the board myself?

Yes. The set consists of eight separate pieces, so you can customize the grip placement to match your riding style and foot placement exactly.

What colors is the pad set available in?

It’s available in dark-grey/violet, dark-grey/stripes, and dark-grey/blue, so you can choose the variant that matches your board.

What material are the pads made of?

The surface is made of EVA, a non-slip, lightweight material that’s standard in modern surf pads.

Is the pad set suitable for beginners?

It’s suitable for anyone who rides with their front foot on a kite surfboard – from beginners looking for extra grip to experienced wave and freestyle riders.

How do I care for my traction pads?

Rinse them with fresh water after use, let them dry in the shade, and store them somewhere cool and flat. Avoid contact with sunscreen and solvents, as they can damage the adhesive.
