FCS Surf Pad T-1 Eco Black Charcoal

FCS Surf Pad T-1 Eco Black Charcoal 

The Go-To One-Piece Grip for a Direct and Clean Feel

Choose absolute simplicity and an ultra-direct connection with your board thanks to the FCS T-1 traction pad. Unlike conventional multi-piece grips, this model is engineered as a single unique piece (one-piece). Featuring no center arch for a completely flat deck, it is designed for surfers who like to move their back foot freely and seek an authentic feel—close to direct contact with wax—while still benefiting from the rock-solid stop of a high-performance tail kick.

Technical Features

• One-Piece Design (1-Piece): A single uniform piece of foam that installs in the blink of an eye at the center of the tail. Ideal for standard-shaped boards and for preventing peeling on the edges of multi-piece pads.

• "No Arch" Flat Profile: Complete absence of a center arch. The flat surface offers total freedom of movement for the back foot to adjust stance millimeter by millimeter depending on the wave section.

• Dual-Density Diamond Groove Pattern: FCS’s classic textured diamond pattern. It provides optimal multidirectional grip under all pressures to prevent any unwanted slipping.

• Medium/High "Hail" Kick Tail: A well-defined vertical rear kick that securely locks in the heel during committed maneuvers and allows you to push hard off the fins during bottom turns.

Key Highlights

• Technical Black Finish: A solid black, sleek, minimalist, and timeless look that blends perfectly with any board, whether brand new or second-hand.

• Sensitivity and Low Profile: Premium EVA foam that is sanded and thinned down to reduce thickness to the max. You precisely feel your shortboard’s reactions underfoot.

• Superior Quality 3M Adhesive: Features the most resistant adhesive film on the market to guarantee a perfect, long-lasting hold against the elements (saltwater, sand, UV rays).

• Lightweight Perforations: The pad incorporates strategic cutouts and slots that flush out water, lighten the board's tail, and increase foam flexibility.

Specifications

Breizh Rider Team Advice

"The T-1 from FCS is the choice of purists. If you hate having a bump (the arch) under your instep and prefer the feel of a flat deck like wax, this model is perfect. We absolutely love it at the shop for equipping everyday shortboards. Its one-piece construction makes it super tough, and it doesn't budge an inch. It is the ideal grip for drawing smooth, precise lines on the beach-breaks of Douarnenez Bay or locking in your footing in hollow sections around the Peninsula. A trusted, simple, and ultra-effective staple."
