Collection: Adrien Toyon

 

What to say about Adrien Toyon? The surfer from Reunion Island has such a beautiful style that he is regularly compared to Rob Machado, with a European twist. Recently, Deflow, launched the Adrien Toyon Collection.

“We love Adrien, who is in constant research and development. After his last trip to Desert Point we had a long talk with him about the amount of drive he looks for in a wave and the powerful turns he likes to make. We reached a clear conclusion: we must go back to basics, we must make the three fins in the set all the same size. Once we decided that, we focused on a smaller but fuller outline with a decent amount of rake. This way we would increase drive and speed. Additionally, we introduced polyurethane foam (PFC) to achieve a more rigid feel. And here it is, Adrien Toyon's new shape. Made for quality waves and a feeling of drive, ideal for perfect waves and point breaks. Some surfers have doubts, others have everything clear. Adrien's case is obviously the second. A few beers in front of la Grand Plage on a classic summer sunset. Long talk about surfing, epic destinations and dreams. “About dreams, I always dreamed of the perfect traction deck, but I never found it on the market,” he said. “Let’s do it,” we replied. And here we are: A super soft and comfortable three-piece deck that has, at the same time, a high kick tail and a good surface to keep the foot in place. 40% angle 25mm kick tail, 8mm 11.5cm x 5.65cm centerpiece… this deck is built for performance.”
