FAQs
What are the dimensions of the Deflow L'Ocean pad?
The total dimensions are 12,5” x 12,3” (32cm x 31,3cm).
Can I reuse this traction pad if I move it to a different board?
No, the 3M adhesive is designed for a single application and will lose its integrity once removed.
Is this pad suitable for a beginner?
The L'Ocean pad is designed for high-performance surfing; beginners might prefer a flatter, less aggressive pad as they learn basic foot positioning.
Does the pad come in different colors?
Yes, the L'Ocean series includes several color variants such as gray (A00010.03-GRY-3), OCR, and A00010.05-SND-3.
How long should I wait before surfing after applying the pad?
It is highly recommended to wait at least 24 hours to allow the adhesive to fully cure on the board's surface.
Troubleshooting
Pad edges are peeling shortly after installation
The surface likely had wax or salt residue during application. Carefully remove the pad, clean the board with isopropyl alcohol, and re-apply using a fresh adhesive layer or strong marine-grade glue.
Air bubbles trapped under the pad
Use a pin to prick the bubble and press down firmly to release the air and ensure the adhesive contacts the deck.
Pros and Cons

- High-quality 3M adhesive ensures long-lasting durability

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best bond, always apply the traction pad to a clean, dry, and wax-free surface. It is recommended to clean the tail of your board with a wax remover or isopropyl alcohol before installation. Peel back the 3M adhesive film and press firmly from the center outward to ensure no air bubbles are trapped. It is strongly advised to wait at least 24 hours before entering the water to allow the adhesive to reach full strength. This pad is compatible with most standard shortboards; avoid applying it to boards with significant tail texture or residue.
