Inspired by Ethan's love for the RELIANCE III, we used this pad for a basis for his newest 5 piece signature pintail. Adopting the heel & toe-cuts of the RELIANCE III and adding a THERMO-LITE base for an elevated connection through critical maneuvers. Designed for pintails and step up boards, the narrow template makes it perfect for any pin with the stomp pad addition offering more traction coverage.
This is a timeless pad that just works. I’ve always been a fan of five-piece pads with two rectangular sections at the top, especially on boards you’re taking in the barrel and thus you’re moving your foot up a little for more speed. This pad is perfect for barrel boards where that’s the case, especially because it comes in super narrow at the kick and is perfect for round pin tailed short boards. Creatures is always killing it with the surface texture on their pads, and this one is super grippy and has been perfect for me so far. I like the kick on this pad too, a little bit more angled than upright and almost feels like a skateboard kicktail when you really jam your foot back on turns! I’ve seen plenty of people rock it as just a three-piece pad too, totally user preference.
