DEFLOW CREAM 9.75" | SINGLE FIN FOR LONGBOARD POLISH

Deflow's favorite single fin in the most classic size for advanced longboarding and in the most elegant two-tone finish in the range

Some fins have character before they even touch the water. The Deflow Cream 9.75" Polish combines immaculate white lamination with the burgundy details that define the Polish finish: a combination that evokes the artisanal precision of classic fiberglass fins from the sixties and seventies, when color on a longboard fin was as important a decision as geometry. For the longboarder who understands that equipment is also an extension of their style, the 9.75" is the size that most advanced surfers use in their logs.

WHY THIS FIN MAKES THE DIFFERENCE

The 9.75" is the historical size of the Deflow Cream. Larger than the 9", with more base and more area, it is the choice of longboarders who prioritize noseriding and high-speed trim without sacrificing the turning ability that distinguishes the Cream from classic pivot fins:

• More base for noseriding: 202.69 mm vs. 188.8 mm — The increase in base compared to the 9" provides greater hold at the base of the fin during noseriding. More security on the five, more stability on the hang ten, and more traction for entering and exiting the nose with confidence.
• Greater area for more traction at speed — With 45.78 in² of area (compared to 37.78 in² for the 9"), the 9.75" generates more lateral force during high-speed trim. For long sections of the wave where the fin must maintain the rail and speed at the same time.
• The same flex distribution that makes the Cream unique — Rigid in the body, with flex in the tip. The stiffness distribution allows the fin to work during turns without losing hold while noseriding. The same secret of the Cream in a larger size.
• A-outline with backward rake — The geometry that Deflow has refined over the years based on George Greenough's references. The shape that makes it possible for a longboard fin to feel classic yet perform with modern capability.
• Polish: white and burgundy as a statement of craft — The Polish finish is the most artisanal combination in the Cream 9.75" catalog: the white fiberglass laminate contrasts with the burgundy details in a palette that recalls the most iconic fins in the history of classic longboarding. A fin that says as much about the one who surfs it as the one who makes it.

EXPERT ADVICE

The Cream 9.75" is the size that most advanced longboarders have kept as their benchmark for years. More base than the 9" for noseriding, more area for speed trimming, and the same fluid character of the Cream in turns. The Polish is also the most artisanal finish for this size: that white with burgundy details looks especially good on natural logs or resin tints in warm tones, and also on white boards where the contrast with the burgundy edge is clean and elegant. If you are between a 9" and a 9.75", choose the 9.75" if your longboard is over 9'3" or if noseriding is your main priority.

DEFLOW WARRANTY — "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 began as a community of riders in 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 and design culture.

The Cream 9.75" is historically the most iconic size of the model. It has been on the logs of the best longboarders who have surfed with Deflow fins for years, it has the most positive reviews in the catalog, and it is the one Deflow itself defines as "definitely one of our favorite fins." In Polish, with the white and burgundy of the two-tone finish, it is also the most beautiful in the range.

USE AND CARE

• Installation — The Cream 9.75" uses a standard single fin box system. Make sure your board's box accepts 9.75" fins. Adjust the position according to your style and board.
• Positioning — For longboards 9'3" and up, start with the fin centered or slightly back. On boards longer than 10', a more backward position favors noseriding.
• Polish finish care — The two-tone Polish finish is part of the fiber lamination. Avoid impacts on the edges where the burgundy meets the white to maintain the integrity of the laminate. Repair any ding with compatible resin before water enters.
• Storage — Away from direct heat, without lateral pressure that could compromise the flex.
