DEFLOW 3 PIECE TRACTION | THREE PIECE SURF GRIP GREEN

The three-piece surf traction pad featuring the most legendary green in motorsports has arrived on your board's tail

In 1903, British drivers painted their Napiers green to honor their Irish hosts during the Gordon Bennett Cup. That gesture gave birth to British Racing Green, one of the most iconic colors in sports history. Over a century later, Deflow brings it to the surfboard tail: the 3 Piece Traction Green is the grip for those who know the best colors always have a story behind them.

WHY THIS TRACTION PAD MAKES THE DIFFERENCE

The 3 Piece Traction Green combines the most historic colorway from the Color Collection with the technical performance of one of the most comprehensive grips in the Deflow range:

• Side line pattern: grip where it matters — The heel and toe pieces work with a combination of smooth surface and linear relief that generates extra friction at the highest pressure points of the back foot. The result is a firmer stance during turns without losing the feel of the center piece.
• 5mm center arch: support without interference — Enough to orient the foot and keep it stable, just right so as not to alter the board's natural feel underfoot. The low arch profile makes this model a comfortable choice for long sessions in varying conditions.
• 30mm kick with a precise 50° angle — The 50° angle is more aggressive than a vertical straight edge and softer than extremely slanted kicks: the exact sweet spot for transmitting power efficiently in every turn. 30mm height so the foot has clear reference without interfering with subtle movements.
• The green with a history — It's not just any green: it is the shade that British drivers adopted in Ireland as a sign of respect, and which became a symbol of competition and elegance in elite motorsports. In the water, it carries that same character.

EXPERT ADVICE

The Green of the 3 Piece Traction has a darker, deeper tone than other mid-range greens, making it especially interesting on boards with white or light-toned resins, where the contrast is maximum and elegant. It also works very well on boards with brown, natural, or earth-toned paint, where the deep green creates a combination reminiscent of North Coast landscapes. If you have a board with a very distinctive design, the Green shares the spotlight without stealing it.

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

Deflow was born on the beach of Zarautz, founded 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 Basque Country riders has become a benchmark brand in the European market, recognized for its technical rigor and an aesthetic that connects surfing with color and design culture.

Deflow's Color Collection turns every colorway into a story. Green carries the most epic of them all: when Selwyn Edge won the 1902 Gordon Bennett Cup for England, the 1903 championship was hosted in Ireland. As a gesture of respect to their hosts, the English Napier cars were painted Irish shamrock green. That same green, born from an act of sporting elegance, now lives on the tail of your board.

All Deflow products are made with premium materials, selected to withstand the most demanding conditions of saltwater, sun, and continued use. The 3M adhesive ensures a permanent and secure bond for the entire life of the pad.

USE AND CARE INSTRUCTIONS

• Surface preparation — Completely clean and 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. The center piece (with the arch) in the middle, the pieces with the line pattern on the sides corresponding to the heel and toe. The kick must be aligned with the edge of the tail.
• Application — Remove the paper from the 3M adhesive starting with the center piece. Press firmly from the center toward the edges without leaving air bubbles. Repeat with each side piece.
• Curing time — Wait at least 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 sun. Do not use harsh solvents for cleaning.
