Master every wave with Deflow surf wax

The secret to good surfing starts with grip. In this collection, you'll find the complete range of surf wax from Deflow, a brand renowned for its commitment to technical performance. Whether you're looking for a high-grip surf wax for winter or a durable formula for the tropics, Deflow ensures your connection to the board is complete.

Find your Deflow wax based on your spot:

To ensure you make the right choice, we have categorized our Deflow offerings according to real-world usage conditions:

  • Winter / Cold Waters: Softer formulas designed to maintain texture and grip even when the water reaches 9ºC.
  • Temperate Waters: The balanced option for most sessions throughout the year in intermediate conditions.
  • Warm Waters: Harder wax to prevent it from melting due to warm water and sun.
  • Tropical Waters: Maximum density for tropical expeditions where the water temperature is consistently high +26ºC.

How to properly apply Deflow surf wax

  1. Total Cleaning: Remove old residue with a wax comb and citrus cleaner.
  2. Base Coat: This is the professionals' secret. Apply a layer of hard wax (Tropical or specific Base) in small circles until a uniform base of bumps is created.
  3. Top Coat: Apply your chosen Deflow wax according to the current water temperature over the previously created bumps.
  4. Combing: If you feel the grip diminishing after several sessions, use a wax comb to scratch the surface and reactivate traction.

The perfect complement to your surf gear

To get the most out of our surfboards, both softboards and fiberglass boards, it's vital to have reliable traction. Deflow surf wax has been tested on all types of shapes, from technical shortboards to classic longboards, ensuring your feet stay in the right place during the most demanding maneuvers.

If you've just bought one of our boards , we recommend starting with a clean layer of Base Coat. It doesn't matter if you're a daily surfer or only go out when conditions are perfect; having your gear ready with the best surf wax is the difference between completing the turn or falling into the water.

Expert tip: Before applying Deflow wax to your board, make sure the deck is free of sand and dust for maximum adhesion from the first minute.

Wax or Grip? You choose your traction style

Although Deflow surf wax offers an unparalleled contact feel, we know that many surfers prefer the comfort and constant reference of a pad. If, on the other hand, you prefer surf grips for the back foot or even front pads, we invite you to explore our technical selection.

As with surf wax, choosing a good grip for your board ensures your back foot is always well-positioned for powerful maneuvers. Whether you enjoy the ritual of waxing your board or prefer the fixed traction of a pad, in our store we have the surf gear that best suits your level and style.

Preguntas frecuentes

¿Qué parafina de surf necesito según la temperatura del agua?

Agua fría (menos de 15°C) → cera blanda para agua fría. Agua templada (15-20°C) → cera de temperatura media. Agua cálida o tropical (más de 20°C) → cera dura. Una cera demasiado dura en agua fría no formará bumps; una cera blanda en agua caliente se derretirá.

¿Qué es el base coat y para qué sirve en surf?

El base coat es la primera capa de parafina que se aplica sobre una tabla limpia, antes de la cera de temperatura. Crea una base rugosa que mejora la adherencia de las capas siguientes y prolonga la duración del encerado. Es imprescindible en tablas nuevas o recién limpiadas.

¿Cómo se aplica la parafina en una tabla de surf nueva?

Primero aplica el base coat en círculos o en diagonal cubriendo toda la zona de pies. Después aplica la cera de temperatura encima con movimientos cruzados hasta formar los bumps de agarre. Una tabla nueva tarda 2-3 sesiones en tener el encerado perfectamente asentado.

¿Cuándo hay que cambiar la cera de la tabla de surf?

Cuando la superficie está completamente lisa y ya no forma bumps, o cuando la cera está muy sucia. Para renovarla: rasca toda la cera vieja con un peine o quitacera surf, limpia la superficie y vuelve a empezar desde el base coat.
