DEFLOW 5 PIECE TRACTION | FIVE-PIECE MUSTARD SURF GRIP

Being different is beautiful: the five-piece surf grip from the Premium Collection in a mustard yellow that has a character of its own on any board

Deflow's Mustard is named after the most recognized seed in global cuisine. A warm, earthy yellow that sits between bright yellow and brown, with a depth that saturated tones lack. On the tail of a board, Mustard speaks with the same voice as the surfer who chooses the pad with the most coverage in the Premium range: with discernment, without needing to justify itself. The 5 Piece Traction Mustard is the choice of the surfer who wants the ultimate in technique and aesthetics, and knows that the two do not have to be at odds.

WHY THIS GRIP MAKES A DIFFERENCE

The 5 Piece Mustard is technically identical to the Black and the Cherry, but visually it is the warmest and most versatile choice of the three colorways. Its five-piece architecture with a central arch positions it as the most complete pad in the range:

• Five independent pieces: coverage without compromise — The five-piece format allows for covering the tail of any board with a precision that two or three-piece formats cannot match. Each piece is independently adjustable for a perfect fit to any tail width and shape.
• 5 mm central arch: positioning without imposition — The 5 mm arch provides the necessary support to keep the back foot oriented during the most demanding maneuvers without the rigidity of higher arches. The right height for the surfer who wants support without losing the feeling of direct connection with the board.
• Wide coverage for greater stability — At 32 × 32.9 cm, the 5 Piece provides the largest support surface in the entire range. Especially recommended for boards with wide tails like grovelers, hybrids, or wide-tail fishes, where the extra coverage makes the difference in stability.
• Line pattern in the areas that need it most — The combination of a predominantly smooth surface with a line pattern in critical zones makes the pad comfortable for daily use and provides grip when the surf requires it. No sacrifices between comfort and performance.
• Mustard: the yellow that doesn't go out of style — Warm, earthy, full-bodied. Mustard works on white, blue, gray, dark, and natural boards with the same naturalness. It is the tone that always seems well-chosen without needing an explanation.

EXPERT ADVICE

The 5 Piece Mustard is probably the most versatile colorway of the three. It works on white boards naturally, but where it truly shines is on boards with navy blue, slate gray, or dark green resin tints: the mustard yellow against those backgrounds creates one of the most elegant and unusual contrasts in the surf pad catalog. If you have a board with elaborate resin work and you want a pad that adds aesthetic value without competing, Mustard is the smartest choice. And as a pad, the 5 Piece is simply the most complete in the Premium range.

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

Deflow was born on the beach of Zarautz at the hands of 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 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 color and design culture.

Deflow's Color Collection assigns a true story to each tone. Mustard is named after the mustard seed, that warm yellow-brown that has accompanied Mediterranean and Atlantic cuisine for centuries. On the tail of a surfboard, it is the color that conveys character without stridency: different without being extravagant, warm without being aggressive. For the surfer who also has discernment in what they put on their board.

All Deflow products are manufactured with premium materials, selected to withstand the most demanding conditions of saltwater, sun, and continuous use. The 3M adhesive guarantees permanent and secure fixation throughout the lifespan of the pad.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE AND CARE

• 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 five pieces dry before applying. Distribute the pieces so that the coverage of the tail is complete and symmetrical. The kick should be aligned with the edge of the tail.
• Application — Remove the backing from the 3M adhesive piece by piece, starting with the center piece with the arch. Press firmly from the center toward the edges without leaving air bubbles. Repeat with the side pieces in order.
• Curing time — Wait a minimum of 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 sunlight. Do not use harsh solvents for cleaning.
