The Godfather has become a staple in the Ocean and Earth tail pad range - with it's unique 5-piece design that extends the traction area on your board and high density 'Power Kick' for controlled power surfing.

High density EVA foam wedge inserted into the tail kick resulting in added control and drive. Developed to improve all round performance in our technical grips. CC55 Closed Cell EVA is lighter, waterproof and super thin. If a board has a rolled deck, the Kick Flex insert on the tail kick helps the grip mould to the same shape as the board. (used on solid kicks only). 4A high grade adhesive formula, developed for EVA offers maximum, long lasting adhesion. O&E’s unique CC55 is a closed cell EVA formula which has been developed to be UV stabilized, water resistant, super grippy, extremely thin and light weight. The addition of purposely positioned perforation and slots also reduces weight and adds extra grip for toes to grip onto resulting in MORE DRIVE, GRIP, PRECISION. Base Flex groove at the base of the tail kick helps the grip mould to the board for superior adhesion.
