The new design Laser Friction Pad hits the market. “Holds your board in place, so you don’t have to”

The long awaited Laser Friction Pad will hit the market just in time for Christmas. The Friction Pad has been developed by the team at LaserPerformance in response to the demand from the class.

The new Friction Pad provides the sailor with the ability to adjust the friction used to hold the centreboard in place, a long awaited performance enhancing feature.

The new Friction Pad is a purposefully designed and engineered part with one job in mind, holding the board in place so you don’t have to.

For every Laser sailor in the world, this is a must have up-grade. The Friction Pad retails at £9.45 and is easily fitted with the supplied screws and clear instructions. You will also need a tube of sealers, this can be ordered at the same time.

The friction pad will be released to the market on Monday 23rd November 2009. To avoid disappointment, pre-order your part at the LaserPerformance website or visit your local LaserPerformance dealer.

LaserPerformance is the steward of some of sailing’s most recognized brands including Laser, Sunfish, SB3 and the Bug. LaserPerformance products are actively sold and sailed in over 40 countries worldwide. For more information on any of the LaserPerformance products please visit www.laserperformance.com
