former xtrak. if they come back with the xtrak fish pad, i'd buy a bunch.
Scrolling thru their selection of tail pads just gave me epilepsy.
Glad to see a color blind designer can still get work in this country.
you'll have to give us a ride report.
How did you find these? Stocked they are #madeinUSA but they did their best to make them look like they were designed/made in China and might pop up when you look for a dakine pad on Amazon. Glad Trumpy was able to get our coal miners n auto workers back to work making traction pads for bargain-shopping hardcore surfers!

Racer please let us know if your able to go back side....
@Havoc which one of these pads are you gonna put on your 8'6 MOTE channel bottom twinny?
These really do look awful. Not just the designs, but the cut of the pads are strange and they look really thick. Oeste nailed it. It’s like they’re trying to copy the $20 China pads on amazon. Almost like they farmed out design to China and manufacture in the US.
If they’re reading this, make some flat 3 piece pads, with the 3 pieces close to the same size. I’ve been digging thinner pads with cutouts so including some cutouts and making it thinner could be good. Also, a little less color contrast between the “H” and the rest of pad color would be more aesthetically pleasing

Looks like a Floridian skim crew to me.

the same one ur planning on putting on ur 8'12"
Funny you say that, they sponsor gulfster.com. There are a lot of dirty white boy reggae skimmers on that side of the state.
They do look thick, but we'll see. Probably same as all others but the horrid colors make them look bigger lol.
They look just like Freak Traction to me, which I do like.
Roped my buddy into buying one too. He got a green camo one. I went with all black.
Fast order turn around. Bought yesterday and they shipped already, arriving Tuesday.

They're out of the Gulf side. Doesn't at a glance appear to be affiliated with Freak, which I think is Matt Kechele
My favorite is the Da Kine Bruce Irons 5 piece. Most of these black/white ones look fine to me. Bonus for blue + orange but no green + orange and no garnet + gold...at least not visibly displayed.

I’m incredibly unreasonable when it comes to testing new tractions or leashes.
unless it’s erBB approved I won’t touch it.
these pads may be made in the US but I’m willing to bet they farm out the mold/tooling fab, engineering and mold design work to China. doesn’t take much to outsource and you save a pretty penny compared to paying US based engineers and machinists.
nothing against these guys just any time I see mass produced “made in USA” below a certain price, I get suspicious, and you can quickly tell why. some folk just want the USA sticker without thinking further.
