Blak Bear Surf Club

Blak Bear Surf Club at Jack's Surfboards. Blak Bear makes surf accessories with a clean, modern look, and the collection here leans on traction: rear pads for shortboards, fish and mid-lengths, corduroy-textured pads, front pads and pro model designs, along with everyday surf leashes, tees and hats.

Choosing a pad comes down to tail shape and feel. A higher arch and kick help you find the tail fast for hard turns, while a flatter pad suits mid-lengths and a more relaxed style. Front pads add grip where wax wears thin. Match the leash to your board length, using a leash about as long as your board or a foot longer.
