Astrodeck
Astrodeck introduced the surfboard traction pads in the 1980s. Today, these traction pads come in a variety of models - the Astrodeck Barney, Beaker, Nathan Fletcher, Christian Fletcher, John Florence, Gavin Beschen, Shane Beschen and more.
How the Astrodeck Traction Pad was born from the exact words of no less than the iconic Herbie Fletcher: "Like all surfboard designer / shapers, I had always experimented with the rails, bottoms, tails and fins of my boards until I really had a quiver for all the best breaks in every condition. I then started concentrating on the surface area where my feet made contact. It seemed that there had to be a product that would allow more control than the wax that had been used for the first 40 some years in surfing."
