CREATURES OF LEISURE PROTO 1.4 TRACTION PAD ECO BLACK CYAN
Developed in collaboration with world champions Mick Fanning and Italo Ferreira, the PROTO™ 1.4 Traction Pad by Creatures of Leisure represents a major advancement in surfboard traction technology and high-performance board control.
Created through extensive testing and prototype development, the PROTO 1.4 introduces the world-first MULTI-LOC™ traction pattern, engineered to deliver unmatched multi-directional grip and enhanced foot engagement during critical surfing.
Designed for elite-level responsiveness, the PRO-FORM arch system uses a contoured, softer compression base to improve comfort, board feel and impact absorption during heavy landings and progressive manoeuvres.
The aggressive RECOIL kick features a spring-loaded rear mesh construction with a steep 46° kick angle, helping generate projection, control and locked-in rear foot response through turns, airs and fast directional changes.
Constructed using EcoPure® organic additive technology, recycled materials and responsible packaging, the PROTO 1.4 combines premium performance with a more sustainable construction approach.
Recognised globally for innovation and design, the PROTO 1.4 is a:
