The History of Hammer Traction
Wave Zone Surf Company was founded in Manatee County, Florida in November of 1990. After over 20 years of success handcrafting surfboards and skimboards, the company took on the challenge of surf traction.
The departure of Hyperform's Xtrak Traction from the surf industry in 2012 left Wave Zone with no source of United States made deck grip. Committed to carrying only brands made in the USA, Hammer traction came to fruition, and brought the product to the public in September of 2013.
3M officials were brought in to consult and provided Hammer with a marine grade adhesive that boasts the ability to STAY STUCK. More carve patterns and colors were added overtime. Today the brand has expanded to offer Wake, SUP and Marine grip.
Since it's inception, Hammer Traction has continued to firmly refuse offers from overseas factories to take on the production of Hammer and he remains committed manufacturing the grip in his Florida factory.
Hammer continues expand and remains the ONLY SURF TRACTION MADE IN THE USA. As the growth and development continues, one thing stays the same - good enough is never good enough. Product development and quality control remain our top focus.
Hammer is proud to be made in the USA, providing jobs and quality deck grip every day.
