The Channel Islands Fuser 3P surf traction pad is a new‑generation surf pad designed to offer a combination of maximum grip, sensitivity and lightness, incorporating CI’s new ThermoPress manufacturing process.
This system uses BioGrip Natural EVA foam together with an additional pressing process that integrates the Mixed Groove Grip pattern, reducing the total thickness of the pad while sealing the EVA surface. The result is a thinner, lighter and much more responsive grip, without losing traction.
The design is intended for surfers who are looking for a direct connection with the board, especially in high‑performance maneuvers where precise foot placement is key.
