DEFLOW 3 PIECE POP TRACTION | ACID LEMON THREE-PIECE SURF GRIP

The three-piece surf grip that anchors you to the tail in the most electric color of the season

There are grips you can see from afar before even hitting the water. The Deflow 3 Piece Pop Traction in Acid Lemon doesn't aim to go unnoticed: that electric yellow-green with a fluorescent hue turns your board's tail into a point of color recognizable from the peak. But behind the color is performance: a three-piece grip with an 8 mm center arch and a 30 mm kick, designed for surfers who want real stability without sacrificing comfort underfoot.

WHY THIS GRIP MAKES THE DIFFERENCE

The Pop Traction isn't just an aesthetic update to the two-piece model. It is a grip with a different architecture, designed for a different type of surfing. Here are its specific advantages:

• 8 mm center arch that locks the foot — The raised center arch is the most significant difference compared to flat models. It keeps the back foot locked in the correct position throughout the maneuver, without sliding to the sides during the most aggressive turns. 8 mm in height is the exact balance point between support and freedom of movement.
• Zone-by-zone hybrid texture — The center piece is smooth for maximum comfort and sensitivity, while the heel and toe pieces feature a textured cube surface for extra grip exactly where pressure is greatest. Every zone of the foot receives the treatment it needs.
• 30 mm tail kick for powerful maneuvers — 30 mm in height is a generous kick that provides a firm support point for vertical turns, snaps, and quick section exits. Taller than 25 mm models for more aggressive and decisive surfing.
• Three pieces for uncompromising placement — The three-piece design allows you to adjust the spacing and angle of each piece independently. Perfect adaptation to any tail, from narrow ones to fish and grovelers.

ADVICE FROM OUR EXPERTS

The 8 mm center arch of the Pop Traction makes it an especially interesting choice for surfers coming from a flat pad who want to take the step toward more support without losing sensitivity. If you've already tried the 2 Piece and find yourself missing that back-foot lock point during committed turns, this is your next step. The Acid Lemon has the added bonus that on a white board or one with dark resin, the contrast is brutal, and in the water, there is no possible confusion about where your foot goes.

DEFLOW WARRANTY — “OUR LOVE FOR THE SEA BROUGHT US HERE”

Deflow was born on the beach of Zarautz 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.

Acid Lemon is one of the most iconic colorways in the Deflow Color Collection: an electric yellow-green that goes far beyond conventional neon. With that greenish hue that pulls it away from pure yellow and toward the most vibrant part of the spectrum, it is the color of high energy, speed, and character. For those who want their board to be seen even before it hits the water.

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

USAGE AND CARE

• Surface preparation — Clean and completely dry the board's tail. Remove any wax residue with a specific remover and let it dry for at least 30 minutes.
• Positioning — Place the three pieces dry before applying to find the optimal layout. The center piece (with the arch) goes in the middle, flanked by the heel and toe pieces. The tail kick should be aligned with the edge of the tail.
• Application — Remove the paper backing from the 3M adhesive starting with the center piece and press firmly from the center toward the edges. Repeat with each side piece, ensuring no air bubbles remain.
• Curing time — Wait a minimum of 24 hours before your first session to ensure maximum adhesion.
• Care and maintenance — Rinse with fresh water after each session. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Do not use harsh solvents for cleaning.
