FCS Nathan Florence traction for responsive grip. Precision control. Signature style.
Overview
The FCS Nathan Florence Grip is a 5-piece traction pad designed for high-performance surfing, perfect for shortboards and step-up boards. Developed with input from WSL champion Nathan Florence, this pad delivers control, comfort, and confidence across a wide range of wave sizes—from 2ft rollers to 20ft giants.
Featuring diamond corduroy grooves and kick holes to reduce weight, the pad provides a secure, responsive feel underfoot while allowing natural board flex. Two extension panels can be placed in front of the main pad to support back foot movement on longer boards, giving surfers added versatility and precision.
Nate’s signature bolt logo completes the design, combining performance and style in a no-nonsense traction pad built to handle serious surfing.

A quick note about our photos!
We use a mix of official brand images and real-life shots from our warehouse to help you make an informed decision.
That said, what you see might differ slightly from what you receive — simply because we can't photograph every possible variation.
For example, a photo might show a 6'2 board with Futures fin boxes, while you've selected a 5'10 with FCS II. Don’t worry — you’ll get exactly what you ordered.
Sometimes, small details like the logo, its placement or overall colour tones can vary slightly depending on the production batch, camera, lighting, or even your screen settings.
These are always only minor differences, and in most cases, the photos are spot on - but we totally get that buying online can feel tricky. If you ever want more details, just drop us a message — we're happy to help!
