John John Florence Signature Traction
The JJF Squash Tail Pro Pad was developed with John John Florence as a performance traction setup for his squash-tail surfboards. Its footprint is designed to fit squash-tail boards while giving the back foot a defined platform for generating leverage and maintaining control over the tail.
7mm PowerPocket Arch Bar
This VEIA x Florence edition uses a 7mm arch bar featuring VEIA's PowerPocket design. The arch provides a clear reference point beneath the back foot while maintaining a relatively low profile.
27.5mm Performance Kick
The rear kick measures 27.5mm and transitions from approximately 45 degrees toward vertical. The raised kick provides a defined stopping point for the rear foot when positioning it over the tail and applying pressure through turns.
Diamond-Cut Eco-EVA Traction
A diamond-cut grip pattern is formed into Eco-EVA foam to create the traction surface. The main pad is 3mm thick, balancing a direct connection to the surfboard with the grip expected from a performance tail pad.
VEIA Venting and Weight-Reduction Cutouts
VEIA incorporates venting and weight-reduction cutouts into the JJF Pro design. These remove unnecessary material to keep the traction pad lightweight while maintaining coverage in the areas that matter beneath the back foot.
3-Piece Customizable Placement
The three-piece construction allows the side sections to be spaced during installation to better follow the width and contours of your surfboard. The complete pad measures approximately 12 inches long with an 11.75-inch wide point.
Designed for Squash-Tail Surfboards
This version of the JJF Pro Pad is specifically intended for squash-tail surfboards. Before removing the adhesive backing, position all three sections on the board to check alignment, spacing, and placement over the tail.
