Dakine Launch Surf Traction Pad

The Dakine Launch Surf Traction Pad is a clean, versatile tail pad for riders who want a dependable all-round setup without excess bulk. It is a particularly good fit for smaller or narrower-tail boards where a tidy three-piece layout makes sense.

In the Dakine traction range, the Launch sits as a straightforward all-round option. It is easier to live with than some of the more niche pro-signature pads, while still delivering the sort of board feel, kick and arch that make a real difference once the waves get better.

Why choose this product?

• An easy choice if you want one dependable tail pad for a shortboard or narrower-tail board.
• Cut-outs help preserve board feel rather than making the tail feel over-padded.
• Three-piece layout keeps fitting simple and works well across a wide range of boards.
• A strong value option in the Dakine traction family.
