Gorilla Kai Colour Squares Grip

The Gorilla Kai Colour Squares Grip is a signature pad of a World Tour charger Kai Otton. 3 piece pads are one of the most functional and versatile. By being able to expand the side pieces you can cater for your narrow and wide tail boards. Placing the side pieces closer to the rails you get grip right where your toes should be when driving big bottom turns. The pad incorporates an arch of medium height so you get support while still being able to easily move your foot around for best placement. The arch has a 3D delta shape that naturally directs your foot to the base of the kick. This is where your pad’s sweet spot is, where you get the most drive.

The kick rises to a small flat section on top. This helps for progressive moves when your foot can land off centre but you still get contact and traction. The flat provides a point of stability. The Aztec pattern covers the pad. This is a multi-layer diamond shape that provides progressive traction as your toes grip into it with small diamonds getting bigger as your toes grip deeper. Light weight and durability are provided through advanced EVA construction. Tapering at the edge of the pad minimises water drag.

The way the two side pieces can be extended allows you to place this pad right back on your board, even around your deck plug. So you can position the kick in the ideal position so that it’s directly above the back of your rear fin. When positioned here your grip’s sweet spot will align with your boards best performance. Your foot will be against the kick getting maximum traction, and also directly above your rear fin giving you maximum drive. The Gorilla Kai Colour Squares Tail Pad is a great pad to give you performance surfing. Check our full range of Surfboard Grip at Manly Surfboards>Surfboard Grip
