DEFLOW MIDHULL 8.5" | SINGLE FIN FOR HULL AND MID-LENGTH ORANGE

The Greg Liddle-inspired single fin for hull and mid-length boards, in the warmest and brightest orange in the catalog

Orange in fiberglass lamination is a color that looks different than orange in any other material. In fiberglass, it has that warm and luminous translucency that makes it softer than plastic orange and more intense than pastel orange: it is the orange of the sun on the horizon first thing in the morning, that shade that fills the wave with color when the light is still low. The Deflow 8.5" Orange Midhull brings that shade to the most specific hull-type template in the catalog: the fin inspired by Greg Liddle for surfing that doesn't fight the wave, but lets it carry you.

WHY THIS FIN MAKES THE DIFFERENCE

The Orange brings the Midhull into the territory of the most visual colorway in the catalog, with the same technical architecture that makes this fin the right choice for hulls, mid-lengths, and gliders:

• Hull template: the specialization that makes the difference — The Midhull is not a multi-purpose fin: it is a fin designed specifically for the concave bottom geometry of hulls and for the type of surfing these boards demand. Narrow base, generous height, specific rake: the proportions that Greg Liddle defined and that Deflow has calibrated with modern fiberglass.
• Push and release: the language of the hull — The push and release of the Midhull are the technical language of the hull. The push provides the traction necessary for the turn to start with energy; the release allows the fin to exit naturally without interrupting the flow of the board. Without that balance, a hull doesn't work as it should.
• Long lines: where the Midhull Orange shines brightest — The orange in the water on long, gently sloping waves has a particular visual presence: it is seen from afar, contrasts with the blue of the water, and gives each turn an added visual quality. For the surfer who enjoys both the aesthetics of surfing and the technique.
• Mid-lengths 7'-8': the range of maximum compatibility — Modern mid-lengths in this range benefit from the balance between drive and maneuverability offered by the Midhull. Less restrictive than a longboard fin, more fluid than a shortboard fin: the perfect spot.
• Orange: luminosity and warmth in fiberglass — The translucent orange of the fiberglass lamination has a visual quality that no other material has. Warm, luminous, with that depth that well-laminated fiber gives. The most energetic colorway in the Midhull family.

ADVICE FROM OUR EXPERTS

The Midhull's Orange is the most luminous colorway in the family and the one that contrasts most on boards with laminations in cool tones—blue, green, gray—where the orange of the fiberglass lamination creates a combination that looks very well thought out. It also works very well on white or natural boards where the warm orange adds visual temperature to the setup. From a technical point of view, the Midhull in any color is the same fin: if you have a serious hull or mid-length and you want the right fin for that type of board, the answer is this.

DEFLOW WARRANTY — «OUR LOVE FOR THE SEA BROUGHT US HERE»

Deflow was born on the beach of Zarautz by a group of surfing enthusiasts with a clear obsession: to create efficient, beautiful, and honest 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 for its respect for the history of fin design.

The Deflow Midhull pays tribute to Greg Liddle — the designer who thought most deeply about what a fin does to a hull. Deflow's version takes that legacy and adapts it with modern fiberglass and a flex calibrated for the contemporary surfer who wants that type of surfing in real, daily-use conditions.

The Midhull can also be used with side bites when the surfing or conditions require it.

USE AND CARE

• Installation — Standard single fin box. Adjust the position according to the board type and style.
• Side bites — Compatible with side bites for greater control. Deflow has a set designed for this fin.
• Fiberglass care — Inspect regularly. Repair any ding with compatible resin.
• Storage — Away from direct heat, without lateral load.
