They have dense fur which helps insulate them from cold temperatures and keep them dry when swimming underwater. The platypus also has venomous spurs on its hind legs which it uses to defend itself against potential predators. It is one of the few mammals that lays eggs rather than giving birth to live young.

It has a duck-like bill, beaver-like tail, webbed feet, and an otter-like body. Platypus shredding illustration by Jason Davis.The platypus (Ornithorhynchus anatinus) is a unique and remarkable creature. Includes a free silicone XLR plug (when in stock)! Made for full-size Onewheels®, but fits anything that isn't a Pint® (ie, McNugget or Growler are compatible), and compatible with nearly all fenders and FlightFins™. There just isn't anything that compares with the natural comfort and durability, as well as control, that the Platy offers. Many riders start off with a Kush Low / High or Kush Wide, or a Viper pad, or an Airpad, only later to switch to the Platypus. Once you've tried the Platypus, it's hard to go back to anything else. It's a new, heavy-duty grip tape that is incredibly grippy and durable.Įach Platypus™ comes with two laser-cut grip tapes – one for the Platypus™, and another cut for a stock XR/Plus wood footpad, so that your grip matches! NOTE: The various colors are meant to match the stock bumpers from Future Motion as well as the Fangs 3 bumpers sold here on this site!įor grip tape, we are including the new PlatyGrip ™ exclusively. No other footpad on the market can match it.Įach Platy™ also includes a set of 6 stainless steel, black-oxide screws…a standard for all Land-Surf products that prevents rust and corrosion from mucking up your rail threads. These anchors are nearly 1” wide metal plates (and around 5-6mm thick) that will never rust and never pull out of the footpad (check out the underside pics below for details). Made from stainless steel or high-strength aluminum, these are not weak “inserts” as all other pads use. But unlike some other 'flappin' in the breeze' thin and weak cushy pads out there, this one has great toughness and keeps it's shape.Īnother innovation are the screw anchors at the very end of the footpad. The Platypus™ itself is made of polyurethane – unbreakable, shock and vibration absorbing, and tough as nails. In other words, its a very subtle 'W'-shaped concave platform for your feet! The new Onewheel GT copies this middle hump that we’ve had on our footpad for two years! A very subtle middle “hump” gives the foot a bit of arch support and helps lock in the back foot when using FlightFins™. The feel of control is fantastic and the platform for your feet feels wide and stable. And for people with larger feet, that isn’t so desirable.īy making the footpad ½” wider than the rails, and adding a progressive concavity that starts shallow near the wheel and grows wider towards the tail (here’s the Platypus duck-bill feature), the rider benefits greatly by having a very wide platform while maintaining a locked-in feeling from the gentle concavity. Most riders don’t know that simply adding concavity to a to a standard-width footpad has the effect of making it feel narrower. This patent-pending design features a unique shape with underside support ribs designed to offer stable footing and ultimate durability. A footpad that feels as good on road as off, and will last forever due to it's urethane construction. A footpad that feels instantly comfortable, and can help reduce foot fatigue on long rides. There is no doubt that the Platypus™ wide concave footpad is as unique as the Australian mammal, for there hasn’t ever been a footpad like this before. We love this unique creature, and it’s the duck-billed snout that gave the inspiration for the name “Platypus™”. A mammal that lays eggs, has a duck-billed snout, and webbed feet, it's a wacky genetic mixup that defies categorization.

The Platypus - one of the oddest animals nature has ever conceived. It can fit on the front or back, and made into a front by installing your own sensor.
