Channel Islands Fader Mega Kush XL Traction Pad Surfboard

Channel Islands Fader XL 3 Piece Arch Pad

The Channel Islands Fader XL 3 Piece Arch Pad is built for surfers riding wider tailed boards who still want the grip, response, and performance feel of a high-end traction pad. Designed in an extra-large format, the Fader XL gives you more coverage across broader tail shapes while keeping the same performance-minded features CI riders look for under the back foot.

CI’s team riders love the combination of two groove textures in one, and the Fader XL uses that same approach to create a highly functional traction surface. The mixed groove grip pattern combines the Lined-Up base texture with diamond groove detailing to deliver a super grippy, high-performance feel with strong board connection and control through turns, pumps, and critical maneuvers. Built from BioGrip natural EVA foam, the pad feels lightweight, comfortable, and responsive underfoot.

A 5mm rectangular arch with die-cut notches adds support while reducing weight and increasing grip, and the 28mm vertical kick with beveled corners helps lock your foot in when driving hard off the tail. Finished with 3M® Marine Grade adhesive for dependable hold, the Channel Islands Fader XL 3 Piece Arch Pad is a great choice for surfers who want extra width without sacrificing a performance-oriented feel.
