• Your board must be 100% clean for proper pad adhesion.

• New Board: Use a damp paper towel to clean the tail. Make sure it is totally dry before proceeding.

• Replacing Old Pad: Remove the old pad and adhesive with a razor. Use a cleaner (Goo Gone, wax remover, acetone) to loosen any leftover adhesive before scraping it off with a razor. Wash off the cleaner residue with a soapy sponge. Sand with 320 grit sandpaper, then proceed to the step above for a new board.

• 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.
