Premium quality – other traction pads on amazon claim to be high quality, but they are smaller and the adhesive is not as good. You know you are getting quality with ho stevie. Super grippy, yet soft on your knees if you surf in boardshorts. Powerful 3m adhesive provides maximum stick to your board. (some cheaper products claim to use 3m adhesive, but you can check their reviews and see that the pads often come off the board). Full size pad – 12 x12 when all 3 pieces are laid side by side. Spread the pads apart if you prefer a wider grip on your tail.

Pad grooves: diamond – the high performing aztec groove now features multiple layers to match the variety of pressures placed on the pad by the surfer. Gorilla use lightweight eva foam combined with ultra strength glue, meaning the pads stay stuck to your board.
