• Your board must be completely clean for proper pad adhesion.

• New Board: Use a damp paper towel to clean off any dust or debris. Make sure it is totally dry before proceeding.

• Replacing Wax: Scrape your board clean with a wax comb and use wax remover on any remaining wax. Then follow steps 2-3 below.

• Replacing Old Pad:

1. Peel off the old pad using a razor to assist you. To remove any leftover adhesive, spread Goo Gone or wax remover over the surface and let it sit before scraping it off with a razor.

2. Clean off the Goo Gone or wax remover residue with a soapy sponge or rubbing alcohol.

3. Sand with 320-grit sandpaper and clean off the sanding dust with a damp paper towel. Make sure it is totally dry before proceeding.

• Position the pad so that your foot is directly over the rear fin while up against the tail kick.

• The 3 pieces can be spread apart to fit all tail sizes.

• Once the pad is in your desired position, trace the corners with a pencil.

• Starting with the rear tail kick portion, peel off only some of the adhesive backing.

• Apply the tail kick portion of the pad first and work your way forward, exposing more adhesive as you go. Doing this slowly and carefully will help prevent air bubbles.

• Press down firmly on all areas of the pad, especially where the tail kick meets the flat portion and all the outer edges.

• Wait 24 hours before surfing to give the adhesive time to properly bond.
