A traction system comprising interchangeable hollow kick tails, mounting plates and traction pad material for mounting to the deck of a surfboard and skateboard, and a skateboard uniquely designed to have the same arched deck as a typical surfboard so that said mounting plates can be used to mount the hollow kick tails to surfboards and said skateboard. The kick tails are configured with a ramped face angled optimally for surfing. Different variations include a ramp to a flat top, a ramp to a vertical face, a ramp to an angled overhang and a ramp to a horizontal overhang. The wide ramp area design in the kick tails provides support for the entire rear fool while surfing and helps the surfer perform aggressive maneuvers without falling. The interchangeable kick tails can be removed from a surfboard and attached to a surfer's skateboard or removed from their skateboard and attached to their surfboard. Having the same kick tail and traction pad material on a skateboard and surfboard allows the surfer to practice surf maneuvers on their skateboard with a much higher degree of proficiency. This patent is an update to U.S. Patent No. 11,267.541 B1 which shows various configurations of mounting plates and kick tails for surfboards.
