"I'm excited to bring a product to the market that not only feels better than the pads I've used in the past but actually helps improve the quality of our waterways". - Kelly Slater
In keeping with Kelly's commitment to sustainability, Slater Designs collaborated with BLOOM Foam to develop the most eco-friendly traction pad on the market today. BLOOM is a high performance flexible foam made form algae biomass harvested from freshwater sources throughout the world.
The BLOOM Foam process:
• Helps improve the quality of waterways by removing excess algae that harms plants, animals, and people who rely on the ecosystem for survival.
• Recirculates fresh water back into the habitat.
• Aids CO2 capture and sequestration. We’re literally scraping pond scum, solar drying, and pulverizing it before foaming the material to create a pad that helps rebalance the natural ecology, and reduces our dependence on non-renewable oil.
Through this patented algae-technology, we have created a product with increased durability, improved shock absorption and reduced weight over conventional foams.
By choosing this traction, you are helping make the world a cleaner place.
This traction pad is made from algae biomass harvested from freshwater sources throughout the world, and was designed for surfers looking for a more direct connection to their board, with the flat surface mimicking your front foot sensation. Cutout strips provide a closer connection to the board while the square traction grooves provide unparalleled grip, allowing the rider to power through turns and land those difficult maneuvers.
