Favorite flat or low arch traction pads?

I used to love Xtrak they weren't as hard as other brands but were grippy and lasted forever.
My recent gorilla grip is too hard and I cant feel the board, and have no kneecaps after using it. It is definitely grippy though.

I Awayco'd a couple of Haydenshapes (Untitled and Holy Grail) which both had Octopus 50/50 pads on them and they ate my knees. I'm not loyal to any brand and haven't had rash issues with any of my purchases over the last several years. I've had numerous pads from: Gorilla, FCS, Creatures, Channel Islands. The Octopus in comparison was gnarly. I demoed the boards last summer and I didn't want to have to put on a short arm full in 74 degree water, so I powered through each one day rental, but I was having to paddle with my legs spread so my knees were off the sides which felt (and I'm sure looked) super weird. I haven't had that happen since the Trac-Top days in the early 80's.
- some huge tail kicks out there that are too thick/not flexible enough to stick to your board if there's any dome in the tail.

Been using these also and like. Or the CI flat pad ones for narrow or pin tail boards. I am flat footed and need a flat pad and both these have held up well.crotchgrab said:I third this. SD is a great pad. Really like the rigidity. Plus, I ride a lot of XTRs which have the pin holes in that area for out gasing. I've had the solid ones bubble a bit on hot tropical days left out.92122 said:x2Waxfoot said:
Dakine has the "Detour" model that is pretty similar to the hobgood pad but steeper kick. I might check it out.

Not aesthetically pleasing, but some of these are going for around 10 dollars. If you don’t mind your traction looking like someone threw up on it.
Thinking about getting one, anybody ever tried gorilla pads.

I have a few gorilla pads, I really like them soft and grippy but last long. Also the kick is gradual so the whole incline sticks to the board, something I personally like.
how did I not know about symple? Casa, can you compare the hardness to say a dakine (hard) or creatures (soft)?
