DEFLOW 3 PIECE POP TRACTION | THREE-PIECE VIOLET SURF GRIP

The three-piece surf grip that combines the deepest color in the collection with the stability that real surfing demands

Some colors have a special quality that goes beyond the visual. The Deflow 3 Piece Pop Traction in Violet is one of them: that shade between blue and deep purple that Deflow describes as being simultaneously serene and dynamic, calming and electric. Violet on a surfboard is not a common color, and that is precisely why it is the most personal of the three Pop Traction colorways. For those who surf with good judgment and choose with equal precision.

WHY THIS GRIP MAKES THE DIFFERENCE

The Pop Traction Violet has the same technical features that make this model the most advanced in the Deflow range of two and three-piece pads, with the most unique colorway of them all:

• 8mm center arch for real support — The raised arch locks the back foot in position throughout the maneuver. Especially useful in turns with heavy back-foot pressure, in powerful surf, and in conditions that demand pinpoint precision in positioning.
• Zone-differentiated texture — Smooth center piece for base sensitivity and comfort. Heel and toe pieces with textured cubes for maximum traction where it is needed most. The foot receives the right treatment at every contact point.
• 30mm kick for decisive maneuvers — The generous height of the kick provides a clear reference point for the back foot. Ideal for surfers looking for that extra support in the most critical moments of a maneuver without losing fluidity on the rest of the wave.
• The violet that looks incredible on boards — The Deflow team themselves say it in the official color description: "oh, and it looks incredible on surfboards." Violet creates unique contrasts on both white and blue or red resins or dark boards.

ADVICE FROM OUR EXPERTS

Violet is perhaps the most versatile of the three Pop Traction colors if you have boards with cold-toned resins. It combines naturally with the blues and turquoises of many resin designs and creates a very clean contrast with pure white. If you have a dark board with black or midnight blue resin, violet on that base looks spectacular. It's the kind of choice that seems well thought out even if you make it quickly.

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

Deflow was born on the beach of Zarautz, driven by a group of surf enthusiasts with a clear obsession: to create efficient, beautiful, and honest accessories and fins. What began as a community of riders from 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 turns every colorway into a story. Violet combines the calming qualities of blue with the creative energy of red, resulting in a color that can be both serene and dynamic depending on the light and context. In the water, it is the shade that changes the most with reflection: on sunny days it vibrates, on cloudy days it becomes deep and mysterious. Always recognizable, always different.

All Deflow products are manufactured with top-quality materials, selected to withstand the most demanding conditions of salt water, sun, and continuous use. The 3M adhesive guarantees a permanent and secure hold for the entire life of the pad.

USE AND CARE INSTRUCTIONS

• Surface preparation — Clean and completely dry the tail of the board. 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 distribution. 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 backing from the 3M adhesive starting with the center piece and press firmly from the center to the edges. Repeat with each side piece, ensuring no air bubbles remain.
• Curing time — Wait at least 24 hours before the first session to ensure maximum adhesion.
• Care and maintenance — Rinse with fresh water after each session. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sun. Do not use harsh solvents for cleaning.

SIZE GUIDE

The Deflow 3 Piece Pop Traction is available in one size. With dimensions of 30.5 × 32 cm (12" × 12.6") in three adjustable pieces, it is compatible with the vast majority of shortboards on the market. The three-piece design allows the separation to be adapted to the width of the tail independently for each piece.
