Definition : Tail pad

Definition: A tail pad is a piece of adhesive foam placed on the tail of the board surfing. It offers improved grip and foot control during maneuvers, particularly useful for tight turns and aerial tricks.

It's important to move your foot forward or backward on the tail pad if you want to pick up speed or perform a maneuver.

Born in the hustle and bustle of Paris, Samuel Rosemain first explored the city on his skateboard. His life changed at the age of 13, when he moved to Martinique.

Between the waves of La Caravelle in Tartane and the hidden spots of Sainte-Marie, he discovered his new passion: surfing.

After five years at sea, Samuel turned to marketing while staying close to the ocean. He created Surf Tribe, a website merging his career and his passion for surfing, offering a platform for knowledge and sharing about the sport and its culture.

Because surfing is above all a tribe!
