Surf Pad Creatures of Leisure Hardwear II Flat Black

Developed in collaboration with the talented Australian surfer Harrison Roach, the Hardwear II Flat is the ideal traction pad for those seeking discreet control and a natural feel. Specifically designed for alternative boards—from hybrid Fish to Mid-Lengths—this two-piece pad prioritizes flow and a direct connection to the board, moving away from overly technical performance models.

Technical Specifications:

• Design:

  • 2-Piece Construction: Allows for flexible placement, perfectly adapting to wide (Fish) or more tapered tails.

  • Flat (No Arch Bar): The absence of a center arch offers total freedom of movement for the back foot, favoring style and fluid transitions.

• Traction: CORD-LOC texture. A corduroy-inspired ribbing that ensures progressive, ultra-comfortable grip underfoot without being aggressive.

• Kick: 30mm Alpine Kick. A moderate rear support that allows you to lock your foot in for maneuvers without unnecessary bulk.

• Dimensions: Length 337mm (13.3") x Width 320mm (12.6").

• Adhesive: High-performance 3M™ adhesive for long-lasting stick and secure application.

• Eco-Friendly Commitment: Made with the EcoPure® organic additive for faster biodegradation at the end of its life. Plastic-free packaging.

The Breizh Rider Team's Take

This is the ultimate "minimalist" grip. If you ride a Fish or a board with some volume and hate the feeling of a bar under your arch, the Hardwear II Flat is made for you.

We love its understated look: it blends visually into the board while providing reassuring traction. The CORD-LOC technology is particularly pleasant for those who occasionally surf without booties, as it doesn't "bite" the skin. It’s the essential accessory to complete an "alternative craft" oriented quiver with both elegance and efficiency.
