Mikey February's signature Fish Grip tail pad from Octopus features thick 'corduroy' striped traction. This provides strong side to side traction, preventing the foot from slipping while allowing ease of repositioning forward and back. Mikey has chosen a 5 piece template for maximum adaptability on your surfboard. It has a separate arch piece with slight height to it, meaning a little extra structure to hold the foot in place and help positioning. Finished with Mikey's prerequisite tail kick to keep the foot in place and help channel drive into the board.
