The 10 Best SUP Traction Pads
This wiki has been updated 22 times since it was first published in October of 2018. Stand-up paddle board traction pads are designed to give your feet a better grip on what would otherwise be a slippery surface. Not only will they assist you in staying firmly in place on your SUP as you ride over waves, but they can also help you paddle stronger and faster, since you'll have a more stable stance. We've included models in a variety of sizes and price ranges to suit ever need. When users buy our independently chosen editorial choices, we may earn commissions to help fund the Wiki.

Editor's Notes
December 30, 2018:
Just like stand-up paddleboards, traction pads come in a range of shapes, sizes, and styles, so we wanted to make sure we represented every kind. We also realize that many people like to bring along a furry passenger and want to keep them safely on board too, so you'll find models specifically designed for dogs.
