DEFLOW CREAM 9.75" | SINGLE FIN FOR LONGBOARD CHERRY

Deflow's most iconic single fin in its historical size and in the most focused and energetic red of the Color Collection

The 9.75" Cream is the size that made the Cream the benchmark fin for modern European longboarding. Bigger, more area, more base: the size advanced longboarders choose when noseriding and speed trim are the priority, yet it still maintains the turning ability that distinguishes the Cream from any classic pivot fin. In Cherry, the focused, no-nonsense red of Deflow's Color Collection, this fin also carries the color that best represents the attitude of the longboarder who paddles into the peak with a clear idea: to surf well.

WHY THIS FIN MAKES THE DIFFERENCE

The 9.75" is not simply a bigger 9". It is a fin with a different character, designed for a type of surfing where cruising speed and noseriding take precedence over vertical turns:

• 202.69 mm base: noseriding that holds — The wide base of the 9.75" generates the hold the front foot needs to stay on the nose while the fin anchors the tail. The difference between a nervous five and a fluid five that can be held through long sections.
• 45.78 in² of area: traction at speed — Area is what determines how much lateral force the fin can generate when the board is in motion. With 45.78 in², the 9.75" provides the necessary traction for high-speed trim to be safe and controlled without the tail sliding out.
• Tip flex that makes turning possible — The flex in the tip is what differentiates the Cream from pivot fins. Without that flex, fins of this area wouldn't turn. With it, the 9.75" allows for smooth snaps at the top of the wave and fluid turns in more powerful sections.
• Cherry: focused energy, not noise — Deflow's Cherry Collection is not for those who want their gear to shout. It is for those who want their surfing to speak clearly. In a 9.75" longboard fin, that message is especially precise: the size for those who know what they want, in the color of those who surf with conviction.

EXPERT ADVICE

The 9.75" Cherry Cream is the combination we recommend for the advanced longboarder who already knows the Cream and wants the size with the most traction for noseriding. If you were surfing the 9" and noticed the tail sliding a bit on long fives, the 9.75" has the base and area to solve that problem. And in Cherry, it is also one of the most eye-catching fins in the catalog: that focused red looks perfect in the water and creates spectacular contrast on white boards as well as on natural-colored logs or those with tints in cool tones.

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 fins and accessories. What started as a community of riders from the Basque Country has become a benchmark brand in the European market, recognized for the technical rigor of its fin designs and for an aesthetic that connects surfing with color culture and design.

The 9.75" Cream is historically the most iconic size of the model — the one that turns the Cream into more than just a functional fin. The Cherry Collection adds to that history the most focused energy of the Color Collection: "Cherry is energy. It's that moment before paddling into a new line, when everything feels sharp and alive." In a 9.75" longboard fin, that energy makes perfect sense.

USE AND CARE

• Installation — Standard single fin box system. Check that your board's fin box accepts 9.75" fins. Adjust the position according to your board and surfing style.
• Positioning — For longboards 9'3" and up. On boards 10' or longer, a slightly further back position favors pure noseriding.
• Fiberglass care — Regularly inspect for delaminations or dings. Repair any dings with compatible resin before continuing to surf.
• Storage — Away from direct heat, without lateral pressure that could compromise the flex.
