Machado 3 Piece Arch Traction Featured

BLOOM is a high-performance flexible foam made from algae biomass harvested from freshwater sources throughout the world. The BLOOM Foam process:

• Helps improve the quality of waterways by removing excess algae that harms plants, animals, and people who rely on the ecosystem for survival.
• Recirculates fresh water back into the habitat.
• Aids CO2 capture and sequestration. We’re literally scraping pond scum, solar drying, and pulverizing it before foaming the material to create a pad that helps re-balance the natural ecology, and reduces our dependence on non-renewable oil.

Through this patented algae-technology, we have created a product with increased durability, improved shock absorption and reduced weight over conventional foams. The packaging is made with post-consumer backing, soy-based inks and a biodegradable wrapping.

By choosing this traction, you are helping make the world a cleaner place.

Diamond tread. Wide arch. High kick.

The performance standard for shortboards.

Rob’s surfing has been most visible on the Go Fish with twin keels over the past couple years, but recently we’ve seen visions of him in competitive form, eerily similar to his days of competition on the CT, riding thrusters.

The three-piece arch pad is his choice in thrusters when he wants to, in his own words, ‘act like a professional surfer”.
