The FCS Julian Wilson surf grip is a high‑performance traction pad developed and tested together with one of the most explosive surfers on tour. Designed to offer maximum traction, sensitivity and lightness, this pad incorporates specific details chosen by Julian Wilson to meet the demands of the most progressive surfing.
It is part of the FCS Athlete Series, a collection created in collaboration with some of the best surfers in the world, where each model incorporates custom features to optimize performance in powerful, fast and technical maneuvers.
