VEIA Explorer Waveform 3 Piece Squash Surf Traction Pad
The VEIA Explorer Waveform 3 Piece Squash Surf Traction Pad is built for squash tail boards and wider tail shapes that need a traction pad with solid coverage, clean placement, and dependable performance. VEIA describes this pad as an optimal fit for squash tail surfboards and notes that it also works well on wider swallow and thumb tail shapes, making it a versatile choice for modern shortboards and hybrids. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
Like the round tail version, the Waveform Squash Pad uses a parallel cut through the pad for optimal placement and a sleeker look on the tail. VEIA also highlights the low 7mm arch, preferred by ambassador Victor Bernardo for progressive free surfing, which gives the pad a comfortable, less aggressive feel without going completely flat. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}
Constructed with SuperSoft EVA, a diamond grip pattern, and a 45-degree to vertical 25mm kick, this pad is built to offer secure traction, comfort, and responsive control through turns and maneuvers. VEIA also lists recyclable packaging as part of the overall design. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}
