Abstract: Enhanced surfing by means of waterproof gloves which provide lifting pads spanning the width of the palm from the base of the thumb and terminating near the pinky, or also extending across the upper palm finger pads if desirable, while secured tightly at the wrist. The padding is contoured and rises to prescribed height starting at the base of the wrist, rising to the maximum height near the base of the palm, and then returning to ‘level’ with the hand inside the palm. Similarly, narrower finger pads will follow a similar contour but will have less height than the palm pad. The padding provides a resilient, rebound boost to aid surfers in quickly rising to their feet while simultaneously creating more clearance between a surfer's torso and board to allow for a heightened swing arch to create forward distance for initial foot positioning and added takeoff momentum.
