Hoppline Reveals the Best Front Foot Traction for Foil Boarding: HexaTraction by RSPro
"I tried different pads. There's cheap options, there's more expensive ones. They pretty much all work, but the ones that work best for me are the RSPro Pads (HexaTraction). I'm not sponsored, not yet, but I bought them. They're quite expensive, but you don't need their smaller big packages. If you get the big one, you might be able to use it on two boards actually. That's what I did, and they're easy to put on, and I was really surprised how well they stayed on the board, like these ones. This has been on the board for, I think, 3 to 4 years, and there's not a single piece coming off. I even covered some sand right here and right here, which was a real pain, and I would've taken off the stickers (RSPro HexaTraction hexagonal pieces) because it's annoying to have a little sand caught under the sticker. I had no more because I used it on 2 boards, and I had to leave it like this, and I never replaced it. I thought it would come off, but it did not."
Key Benefits:
- Durability: No peeling or wear after years of use.
- Versatility: Can be used on multiple boards.
- Easy to Apply: Stays on, even when exposed to sand and water.
Honest Review of RSPro HexaTraction Pads for Prone Foilboarding
"So really took me a long time to realize how much I benefit from using pads instead of wax. And it might be my style of surfing, my style of travelling from warm water to cold water, but more or less putting pads now on all my boards. I put them really close to the rail, and I like them and I can really recommend them. Try them on one of your boards, see how you go. Just be aware that it might be a little bit slippery on the beginning while sitting, not surfing, and see how they work for you."
Key Benefits:
- Consistency: Works well in both warm and cold water.
- Convenience: Pads are always ready, unlike wax which requires frequent reapplication.

"Like something like this, even with wax, you need like this is a warm water, and this is a cold water. You're not only need different wax for different temperatures outside of the water but also inside of the water, and all this is more or less gone with using pads (RSPro's HexaTraction)."
Key Benefits:
- No More Messy Wax: No need to worry about temperarture-sensitive wax.
- Cleaner Boards: No wax residue or melting in the sun.
Say Goodbye to Messy Wax! @hoppline 's Guide to RSPro HexaTraction
"I'm a family guy, so a lot of times we take rental cars, and I know a lot of people say it's a rental, don't be gentle. I try to treat my rental cars in a good way, and more or less return them the way I was handed out the car. So, using pads (HexaTraction). If you're not using a board bag, you can just slide it in. If you touch a seat or something, it's not going to come off and stick to the seat, and wax is really hard to get out of clothes and stuff like that. So that's a benefit for me. The same in a board bag or in a sock. It never melts to the sock, and it's not going to stick to the board bag."
Key Benefits:
- Travel-Friendly: No wax melting in cars or board bags.
- Easy Maintenance: No wax stains on clothes or car seats.
Why RSPro HexaTraction Beats Surf Wax: Insights from @Hoppline
"Let me just give you a quick summary of the benefits I get from using the pads (HexaTraction by RSPro) instead of using wax and then we get into the cons. First of all, they're really sticky, like I've never had any problems even in salt water sometimes after the rain. If it's dirty and you have a lot of sediment in the water, it gets kind of slippery even then. I have more than enough traction on the pads. They don't give me a rash. Foam does. I much more prefer the stickers (RSPro’s Hexatraction) over like a foamy deck pad."
Key Benefits:
- Superior Grip: Stays sticky in all conditions.
- Comfort: Doesn't cause irritation or rashes, unlike foam pads.
- Long-Lasting: Reliable in dirty or rough water conditions.
