Cork cells display what is known as elastic memory---when compressed they return to their original size---great for stomp pads and ours have been tested by the best. Most deck pads are made out of non environmentally friendly EVA plastic (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate). We first tested recycled EVA pads but they didn't hold up well, they were a bit soft and didn't quite offer the right consistency. After trying several different alternatives we came across CORK.

Fully developed in Cork agglomerate, the Cork Traction Pad combines traction, comfort and durability
Our exclusive Solace SUP cork deck pad is more sustainable, durable and innovative than any other on the market. It is made with real cork that naturally has great elasticity, water-repellant and stickiness properties which make it perfect for a stand up paddle board deck pad. Just the right amount of cork and eva material is mixed together to give a balance of softness-to-firmness, making it nice on the feet and the performance without coming apart. This SUP traction pad has comfortable, lined grooves where you stand and a grippy diamond grooving toward the tail for those pivot turns and for digging into waves. The flexible 4 piece design fits multiple size boards. All deck pads have an earthy eggplant logo color. Designed by Solace SUP in collaboration with Wave Tribe.
