This Pro-Lite The Drip Contest Traction Pad has a medium arch and features a three-piece Micro-Dot grip pattern, with an aggressive tail block to give you that “locked in” feeling and security when pushing through turns. The tail block has side bevel cut away's to allow a better fit on narrower tail boards or step ups. Pro-Lite recommends riding this pad on a high performance shortboard or step up. 3M adhesive backing makes sure that your pad stays put, while Pro-Lite's Micro Dot groove pattern keeps your foot in place. Their Micro-Dot traction gives a light weight responsive feel, absorbs less water and is less likely to rash your knees in tropical climates. Grippier when wet, feel the difference.
