DEFLOW 2 PIECE TRACTION II | TWO-PIECE SURF GRIP BLACK

The most versatile two-piece surf grip: timeless black that matches any board

There is a reason why black never goes out of style. The Deflow 2 Piece Traction II in Black needs no justification: clean, elegant, and compatible with absolutely any board design. For the surfer who wants a grip that performs at its best without stealing the spotlight from their shortboard's aesthetics.

WHY THIS GRIP MAKES A DIFFERENCE

The Deflow 2 Piece Traction II is designed for surfers who don't want to compromise on sensitivity or control. Its two-piece construction without a center arch makes a difference in every session for three fundamental reasons:

• Functional minimalism at its best — No center arch, no elements that get in the way. The Black visually disappears on any surfboard, from pure white to the most elaborate resin-tinted designs. It is the invisible grip that you only feel when you need it.
• Differential grip under the back foot — The combination of a smooth surface with textured foam cubes offers comfort while resting and extra grip at the exact moment you apply pressure during a turn. Without sacrificing sensitivity for traction.
• Precision tail kick — 25mm height at a 50° angle for direct and controlled response in every maneuver. The perfect leverage point for both open carves and tight verticals.
• Free adjustment to your board's tail — The two independent pieces allow you to separate or join the pad according to the width of the tail. Suitable for practically any shortboard on the market.

EXPERT ADVICE

Black is the most requested color for grips precisely because it doesn't impose any aesthetic restrictions. If you have several boards with different designs or frequently change your setup, Black is the smartest long-term choice. Plus, black EVA doesn't show wear and tear as easily as lighter colors, keeping it looking good session after session.

DEFLOW GUARANTEE — "OUR LOVE FOR THE SEA BROUGHT US HERE"

Deflow was born on the beach of Zarautz, led by a group of surf enthusiasts with a clear obsession: to create efficient, beautiful, and honest accessories and fins. What started as a community of riders in the Basque Country has become a benchmark brand in the European market, recognized for its technical rigor and an aesthetic that connects surfing with the culture of color and design.

The Deflow Color Collection starts from a premise: a product's color is not a cosmetic detail, it is a statement of identity. Black represents exactly that: timelessness, versatility, and elegance without fanfare. A grip that doesn't expire with the seasons and looks just as good on a classic white board as it does on a dark resin shape.

All Deflow products are manufactured with premium materials, selected to withstand the most demanding conditions of saltwater, sun, and continued use. The 3M adhesive guarantees permanent and secure attachment for the life of the pad.

USE AND CARE

• Surface preparation — Clean and completely dry the board's tail before applying the grip. Remove any wax residue with a specific remover and let it dry for at least 30 minutes.
• Positioning — Place both pieces dry (without removing the backing paper) to find the optimal position. Mark with masking tape if necessary. The tail kick should be aligned with the edge of the tail.
• Application — Remove the backing paper from the 3M adhesive and press firmly from the center toward the edges, ensuring no air bubbles are trapped. Apply even pressure for at least 60 seconds.
• Curing time — Wait at least 24 hours before your first session to ensure maximum adhesive bonding.
• Care and maintenance — Rinse with fresh water after each session. Avoid leaving the board in direct sunlight for long periods, as extreme heat can soften the adhesive. Do not use harsh solvents for cleaning.

SIZE GUIDE

The Deflow 2 Piece Traction II is available in one size. The 31.5 cm x 31 cm (11.5" x 11.5") dimensions in two independent pieces make it compatible with the vast majority of shortboards on the market. Thanks to the adjustable spacing between pieces, it adapts to both narrow tails and wide-tail designs.
