FCS Nathan Florence traction for responsive grip. Precision control. Signature style.

Overview

The FCS Nathan Florence Grip is a 5-piece traction pad designed for high-performance surfing, perfect for shortboards and step-up boards. Developed with input from WSL champion Nathan Florence, this pad delivers control, comfort, and confidence across a wide range of wave sizes—from 2ft rollers to 20ft giants.

Two extension panels can be placed in front of the main pad to support back foot movement on longer boards, giving surfers added versatility and precision.

Nate’s signature bolt logo completes the design, combining performance and style in a no-nonsense traction pad built to handle serious surfing.
