Griffin Colapinto Lite | Thin, light and absolutely locked in

Griffin surfs off his back foot harder than almost anyone on tour, and this is the pad he does it on. THERMO-LITE compression takes the bulk out of the EVA so the pad sits closer to the deck — you get the board feel of a thin pad with the bite of a thick one. The Alpine Kick is steep and defined, so when you set up for a full-rotation air or a hard vertical hit, there's something real under your heel. Dark Rose Black Flames is the new-season art run.

Key Technical Features

• THERMO-LITE Diamond Loc II: Thermo-compressed micro-dot pattern — a thinner, lighter profile that keeps its grip when the deck is running with water.
• 30mm Alpine Kick: A steep ramp kick that gives you a hard reference point for launching and for holding a rail through the turn.
• 7mm Teardrop Wide Arch Bar: Fills the arch across a wider footprint so your foot doesn't slide forward under load.
• 3-piece construction: Set it to your own tail block and stance rather than working around a moulded one-piece.
• EcoPure organic additive: A more sustainable EVA that doesn't trade away performance.
• 3M adhesive, plastic-free packaging: Long-lasting bond, no single-use plastic in the pack.

Why You'll Love It

This is for the surfer chasing above-the-lip surfing on a high-performance shortboard — someone who wants maximum grip but hates the disconnected feel of a thick pad. Perfect on a fresh step-up or your everyday performance board heading into the new season.
