Firewire Lowrider 3-Piece Traction Pad

For surfers who want to maintain sensitivity between their back foot and the deck of their surfboard. A more natural feeling when compared to larger tread patterns, the Lowrider is a favorite when seeking enhanced control without sacrificing flow and finesse. With a low incline tail kick trimmed at the heel and toe edge of either side of the pad, the Lowrider has just enough elevated surface area behind your back foot to enable turns as tight as you can drive them. Cut from thin rectangle grooves, this pad’s minimalistic approach is offset by an extra firm arch bar, creating one of Firewire's favorite Algae Traction pads yet.

Made with algae
BLOOM is a high-performance flexible foam made from algae biomass harvested from freshwater sources throughout the world.

The BLOOM Foam process:

• Helps improve the quality of waterways by removing excess algae that harms plants, animals, and people who rely on the ecosystem for survival.
• Recirculates fresh water back into the habitat.
• Aids CO2 capture and sequestration. Firewire is literally scraping pond scum, solar drying, and pulverizing it before foaming the material to create a pad that helps re-balance the natural ecology, and reduces our dependence on non-renewable oil.

Through this patented algae-technology, they have created a product with increased durability, improved shock absorption and reduced weight over conventional foams. The packaging is made with post-consumer backing, soy-based inks and a biodegradable wrapping.
