A traction surface for a water board has been developed comprising: a traction pad formed of a molded clear thermo plastic elastomer (TPE) material, and an upper surface of the pad having a roughened texture. The upper surface of the pad may include a center ridge extending a length of the pad and substantially parallel to a centerline of the board. Further, the upper surface may include a back step at a rear of the pad and a plurality of interlaced ribs and grooves extending substantially parallel to a centerline of the board. The grooves may be spaced apart at substantially the spacing of the toes of a foot of an adult male. In addition, the pad may include a bottom surface having a lip extending around a perimeter of the bottom surface. Moreover, injection molding may form the pad.

What is claimed is: 1. A traction surface for a water board comprising: a traction pad formed of a molded thermo plastic elastomer (TPE) material, and an upper surface of the pad having a roughened texture, wherein the traction surface includes at least one rib extending substantially parallel to a centerline of the board, and a pattern of interlaced ribs and grooves adjacent the at least one rib and fanning out from a front edge of the surface to side surfaces of the surface. 2. A traction surface for a water board comprising: a traction pad formed of a molded thermo plastic elastomer (TPE) material; an upper surface of the pad having a roughened texture, and an underside of the pad having a pattern of ridges, wherein the pattern is more dense below the at least one rib than below a pattern of interlaced ribs and grooves. 3. A traction pad for a water board comprising: an upper surface of the pad having a roughened texture, an underside of the pad including ridges and chambers between the ridges, wherein the chambers have an open side to be closed by a surface of the water board, wherein the traction pad is formed of a molded thermo plastic elastomer (TPE) material. 4. The traction pad of claim 3 wherein the traction pad further comprises an adhesive on the underside of the pad and a release liner on the adhesive. 5. The traction pad of claim 3 wherein the upper surface includes a center ridge extending a length of the pad and substantially parallel to a centerline of the board. 6. The traction pad of claim 3 wherein the upper surface includes a back step at a rear of the pad. 7. The traction pad of claim 3 wherein the traction surface includes a plurality of interlaced ribs and grooves extending substantially parallel to a centerline of the board. 8. The traction pad of claim 3 wherein the upper surface of the pad includes at least one centerline rib extending substantially parallel to a centerline of the board, and a pattern of interlaced ribs and grooves adjacent the at least one rib and fanning out from a front edge of the surface to side surfaces of the surface. 9. The traction pad of claim 8 wherein the ridges includes longitudinal and transverse ridges below the at least one centerline rib and solely longitudinal ridges below the pattern of interlaced ribs and grooves. 10. The traction pad of claim 3 wherein the pad is formed by injection molding. 11. A method to make and apply a traction pad to a water board comprising: injection molding a thermo plastic elastomer (TPE) material to form an upper surface of the pad having a roughened texture and an underside including ridges and chambers between the ridges an upper surface of the pad having a roughened texture; applying an adhesive material to the underside of the pad and coating the adhesive with a release liner; preparing the board to receive the pad by cleaning the board; removing the release liner from the pad to expose the adhesive, and applying the exposed adhesive and pad to the board. 12. The method of claim 11 wherein the pad is applied to be aligned with a longitudinal centerline of the board. 13. The method of claim 11 wherein the adhesive material is applied to a flat border on the underside of the pad and to the ridges on the underside of the pad. 14. The method of claim 11 wherein the pad is transparent or translucent and the pad is applied to the board to allow viewing of patterns on the board below the pad. 15. A traction pad to be applied to a surface, the pad comprising: an upper surface of the pad adapted to receive a body part of a human; an underside of the pad including ridges and chambers between the ridges, wherein the chambers have an open side to be closed by the surface to which the pad is applied; an adhesive on the underside of the pad, and a release liner on the adhesive, wherein the traction pad is formed of a molded thermo plastic elastomer (TPE) material. 16. A traction pad to be applied to a surface, the pad comprising: an upper surface of the pad adapted to receive a body part of a human, wherein the upper surface of the pad includes a center ridge extending a length of the pad; an underside of the pad including ridges and chambers between the ridges, wherein the chambers have an open side to be closed by the surface to which the pad is applied, and wherein the traction pad is formed of a molded thermo plastic elastomer (TPE) material. 17. A traction pad to be applied to a surface, the pad comprising: an upper surface of the pad adapted to receive a body part of a human, wherein the upper surface of the pad includes a back step at a rear of the pad; an underside of the pad including ridges and chambers between the ridges, wherein the chambers have an open side to be closed by the surface to which the pad is applied, and wherein the traction pad is formed of a molded thermo plastic elastomer (TPE) material. 18. A traction pad to be applied to a surface, the pad comprising: an upper surface of the pad adapted to receive a body part of human, wherein the upper surface of the pad includes a plurality of interlaced ribs and grooves; an underside of the pad including ridges and chambers between the ridges, wherein the chambers have an open side to be closed by the surface to which the pad is applied, and wherein the traction pad is formed of a molded thermo plastic elastomer (TPE) material. 19. A traction pad to be applied to a surface, the pad comprising: an upper surface of the pad adapted to receive a body part of human, wherein the upper surface of the pad includes at least one centerline rib, and a pattern of interlaced ribs and grooves adjacent the at least one centerline rib and fanning out from a front edge of the surface to side surfaces of the pad; an underside of the pad including ridges and chambers between the ridges, wherein the chambers have an open side to be closed by the surface to which the pad is applied, and wherein the traction pad is formed of a molded thermo plastic elastomer (TPE) material. 20.
