The additional coverage is designed for surfboards with extra-wide tails and can also be useful for surfers with larger feet who want more traction beneath their back foot.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n  \u003cp\u003eThat extra width makes the Magnum Wide particularly relevant for wider shortboards, grovelers, hybrids, and other boards where a conventional tail pad may leave more of the deck uncovered than desired.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n  \u003ch2\u003eLow 7mm Arch\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\n  \u003cp\u003eThe Explorer Magnum Wide uses a low 7mm arch. This provides a noticeable reference point underfoot without the more pronounced feel of an aggressive high-arch traction pad.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n  \u003cp\u003eThe lower-profile arch makes the pad a good option for surfers who want some arch support and foot positioning feedback while preferring a less aggressive feel.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n  \u003ch2\u003e25mm Tail Kick\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\n  \u003cp\u003eA 25mm tail kick provides a defined rear reference point for the back foot. The kick transitions from approximately 45 degrees toward vertical, helping provide something to push against when driving through turns or positioning the rear foot over the tail.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n  \u003ch2\u003eDiamond Grip Pattern\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\n  \u003cp\u003eVEIA uses a diamond grip pattern across the Explorer Magnum Wide to provide consistent traction underfoot. The three-piece construction also allows the pad to be positioned to suit the width and contours of the surfboard's tail.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n  \u003ch2\u003eSuperSoft EVA Construction\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\n  \u003cp\u003eThe pad is made with VEIA's SuperSoft EVA, combining traction with a comfortable feel underfoot. The main pad is approximately 3mm thick, keeping the surfer connected to the board while still providing cushioning and grip.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n  \u003ch2\u003eWho Is the Explorer Magnum Wide For?\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\n  \u003cp\u003eThe Explorer Magnum Wide is designed primarily for surfers riding boards with extra-wide tails or anyone who simply wants more traction coverage. Its combination of a 14-inch wide point and low arch makes it especially useful when a standard-width pad feels too narrow.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n  \u003cp\u003eFor the best fit, compare the 14-inch wide point and 12-inch overall length with the tail area of your surfboard before installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n  \u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\n\r\n  \u003ch3\u003eHow wide is the VEIA Explorer Magnum Wide Tail Pad?\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n  \u003cp\u003eThe pad measures 14 inches at its widest point.
