The FCS Kalohe Andino surf grip is a high-performance traction pad developed and tested together with Kolohe Andino, one of the most dynamic and creative surfers on the world tour. It is part of the FCS Athlete Series, a collection created in collaboration with the best surfers in the world, where each model is designed to suit each rider’s surfing style.
This pad is designed for surfers who need a balance between mobility and grip, allowing you to constantly adjust the position of your back foot during maneuvers without losing control when it’s time to lock in and push hard over the fins.
As Kolohe Andino himself explains:
“I move my back foot a lot when I surf, sometimes I even put it over the kick on turns, so everything on this pad has been designed to balance movement and grip exactly when I need it.”
