Abstract

Some embodiments of the disclosure are directed to a traction pad as accessory equipment on a board used to transport riders on water or land (including surf boards, wind boards, snow boards, and other boards) or on other surfaces on which such a traction pad is placed. In some embodiments, the traction pad is attached to the board via an anchoring system that may be either temporarily affixed to the board or other surface via bonding material, screws, or may be manufactured into a portion of the board or other surface. The anchoring system allows the traction pad to be removable and transferable. The internal structure of the pad allows for widening of middle portions of the traction pad and for selectively attaching inserts to interior portions of the traction pad that can provide arch support for a person's foot or boot.
