Why are 3 piece pads so common?

They fit many tail shapes and give some adjustment across the deck.

What arch should I choose?

A higher arch gives stronger foot reference. A flatter pad can feel more neutral.

What kick should I choose?

A higher kick gives a clearer back-foot stop, while a lower kick can feel less intrusive.

How do I apply it well?

Clean wax and residue, dry-fit the pieces, then stick once alignment is right.

A 3 piece pad is the safe starting point for most shortboards, but still check width and tail shape.
