DEFLOW 3 PIECE PAD THE ORIGINAL | THREE-PIECE SURF GRIP BLACK

The three-piece surf grip that does it all well, hassle-free: the perfect entry point to the Deflow range

Not all surf grips need to be technically complex to perform. The Deflow 3 Piece Pad The Original is proof of that: the most accessible model in the entire Deflow pad range, designed from the ground up so any surfer can put it on any board and start noticing the difference from the first session. Easy to apply, comfortable underfoot, and with enough grip to support your most radical turns. Nothing more, nothing less.

WHY THIS GRIP MAKES A DIFFERENCE

The 3 Piece Pad The Original doesn't compete with Deflow's high-end models on technical specifications: it competes on something harder to achieve, which is doing everything asked of it without flaws, without complications, and without a price tag that makes you hesitate. These are its specific advantages:

• Designed for every board and every type of surfer — The design philosophy of The Original is the most inclusive in the Deflow range: intended for shortboards, grovelers, fish, and any board that needs rear-foot grip. There isn't a surfer profile for whom this doesn't work.
• Combination of materials for the perfect balance — The blend of surfaces on The Original is the result of finding that sweet spot between comfort and traction that Deflow defines as "very interesting." Neither so smooth that it slips, nor so textured that it feels uncomfortable during long sessions.
• 6mm center arch: medium support that doesn't interfere — An intermediate-height arch that guides your back foot without imposing a position. Enough for the foot to know where it is, low enough that you won't notice the arch when you don't need it.
• 30mm tail kick for radical turns — The same kick height as the higher-end models in the range. The Original doesn't skimp on the most important point: support for your heel during the most committed turns is the same as on the higher-priced pads.
• Black that always works — The most requested color in the catalog, compatible with any board design and without an aesthetic expiration date. The Original in black is the risk-free choice.

EXPERT ADVICE

The Original is the choice we recommend when someone asks us about their first surf grip or when an experienced surfer wants a replacement pad without overthinking it. It does everything it needs to do without surprises. If you surf frequently and want a pad that holds up without failure, is easy to apply, and looks good on any board, this is your starting point. And if you later want to upgrade to the Pop Traction or the Vol.2, you will have a clear reference of what you are changing and why.

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 color and design culture.

The 3 Piece Pad The Original is part of the Deflow Core Collection: a range of entry-level products designed so that any surfer, at any level, has access to the brand's quality and philosophy without price barriers. "Original" is not a casual name: it is the pad that has always existed in the quiver of any surfer who is starting out or simply wants something that works without complications. The first one. The one that does it all.

All Deflow products are made with top-quality materials, selected to withstand the most demanding conditions of saltwater, sun, and continuous use. The 3M adhesive guarantees permanent and secure fixation for the entire lifespan of the pad.

HOW TO USE AND CARE

• Surface preparation — Clean and completely dry the tail of the board. Remove any remaining wax 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 side 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 toward the edges, ensuring no air bubbles are trapped. Repeat with each side piece.
• 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.

SIZE GUIDE

The Deflow 3 Piece Pad The Original is available in one size, featuring three adjustable pieces that adapt to the width of the tail of virtually any board on the market. Check the pad's technical specifications:
