The Roam 2 + 1 Fish Traction Pad is their super versatile fish tailpad. The shape suits any fish with a deep swallow tail - use it as a 2-piece pad for a medium wide tailed fish, or use the wedge center piece in either 180° position for a wide or extra wide tail. The pad is flat with no arch, Roam's lowest kick tail and square grooving designed for easy movement and repositioning of the back foot for front foot fish surfing, but plenty of grip when you lean into a turn and push hard through the tail.

Additional Info
Three Piece Pads
Fishes, especially retro fishes need wide or extra wide pads. Specific Fish pads have a swallow tail friendly design. 2+1 or pads with ‘filler’ pieces are excellent for versatility.
Flowing/Front Foot Surfing
For fish/groveller surfboards or in waves lacking power.
On weaker waves or on styles of boards where you’re moving your weight forward to generate speed or find trim, a Roam pad with a less locked in feel is better; low or no Arch, a low Kick and less aggressive texture.
Materials
Most tail pads are made from EVA an expanded foam rubber. The density is rated on the Shore hardness scale - soft is more grippy but less durable and hard is less grippy but more durable.
Glue
Good glue is essential - poor quality glue will fail quickly making the pad useless. 3M is a brand name, supplying the best glues used for pads. Roam tail pads only use 3M glue.
Tailor the pad to your surfboard, with a pad that fits the tail, and can expand. The higher the arch, the more contact under your foot. A higher/more angled kick lets you lock your foot in for vertical, powerful surfing. In simple terms the rougher the texture, the more grippy the pad.
Position
When attaching your tail pad it’s important to put it as far back on the tail as the leash plug will allow. Never put it over the leash plug as the leash string will cause it to lift.
Returns
If you are not 100% satisfied with your purchase you may return it for a refund, or exchange within 30 days of receiving your order.
