Firewire 3 Piece Arch Traction Pad Diamond tread. Wide arch. High kick. The performance standard for shortboards. The Firewire 3 Piece Arch Pad is Rob Machado's choice for thrusters when he wants to, "act like a professional surfer." Materials Made with algae. BLOOM is a high-performance flexible foam made from algae biomass harvested from freshwater sources throughout the world. BLOOM's foam process: • Helps improve the quality of waterways by removing excess algae that harms plants, animals, and people who rely on the ecosystem for survival. • Recirculates fresh water back into the habitat. • Aids CO2 capture and sequestration. We’re literally scraping pond scum, solar drying, and pulverizing it before foaming the material to create a pad that helps re-balance the natural ecology, and reduces our dependence on non-renewable oil. This patented algae technology has created a product with increased durability, improved shock absorption and reduced weight over conventional foams. The packaging is made with post-consumer backing, soy-based inks and a biodegradable wrapping. Better for your surfing, better for the planet.
