CREATURES OF LEISURE PROTO™1.4 ECO TRACTION | PLATINUM SPECKLE RED

The biggest revolution in surf traction since it was invented!

The Creatures if Leisure Proto™1.4 Eco Traction pad will elevate your surfing and drastically reduces manufacturing waste!

Prototype after prototype, test after test, we worked with World Champs Mick Fanning + Italo Ferreira to revolutionise the gold standard in traction. Re-inventing traction through Moulded Technology, PROTO™1.4 provides the world-first multi-directional grip pattern, MULTI-LOC™, to lock your foot in place. A PRO-FORM arch gives cushioned support, and a RECOIL kick helps lift projection through critical manoeuvres. In our aim to make a product that is BUILT better, moulded technology has allowed us to dramatically reduce our manufacturing waste.

MORE GRIP, LESS WASTE, ULTIMATE PERFORMANCE.

WHY IS MOULDED TRACTION BUILT BETTER?

Instead of cutting from blank EVA foam blocks, every element is made using moulded technology for ultimate precision. PROTO™1.4 reduces waste to just 5%! We mix in EcoPure® organic additive to the EVA formula ensuring the material biodegrades at its end of life. The end result is an ultra-precise tail pad that creates radically less waste and ultimate performance.

WHAT ABOUT PERFORMANCE?

Because moulded technology offers unlimited potential, we no longer had the archaic constraints of routing, cutting and sanding. We worked with World Champs Mick Fanning and Italo Ferreira to re-imagine traction as we know it. And when it comes to performance, they each have radically different approaches and preferences…

Mick Fanning: 5’11” natural foot with a fundamental approach that’s calculated and precise.

Italo Ferreira: 5’7″ goofy foot with explosive, unpredictable flair and a massive bag of tricks.

MULTI-LOC™: WORLD’S FIRST MULTI-DIRECTIONAL GRIP PATTERN

13X World Titles have been won using our proven Square-Loc and Diamond-Loc traction patterns. This influenced the fundamental development of MULTI-LOC™. Through the 3-year R&D process, we introduced foot mapping to analyse exactly what Mick and Italo required to push their level of connection and response. Mick altered every detail down to a fraction of a millimeter, including the direction, angle and space of each traction element. Italo increased the profile of the traction on the kick incline and in the “sweet spot”.

RECOIL KICK: SPRING LOADED KICK TAILS

The RECOIL kick is where it all started and was identified as a potential game-changing component to modern surfing. The rear hex pattern offers a natural folding point that springs back when compressed. The steep alpine kick provides engaged response through critical manoeuvres. The form-fitting concave underside is designed for the convex deck of a performance surfboard for premium application. A channel on the top of the kick allows flex to form-fit any shaped deck.

PRO-FORM ARCH: COMFORT AND SUPPORT LIKE A RUNNING SHOE

The PRO-FORM arch is based off our proven tear drop shape and is over-moulded by a grip pattern that is designed for comfort. The result is a squishy base and contoured shape that hugs your foot, helping soften the impact of hard landings. It is compression moulded to the MULTI-LOC™ traction without the use of glue. This creates a single component that keeps water out.
