Understanding this bodyboard's technology
 |
1.2lb D12 PP (Taiwan)
Lightweight extruded foam compressed at 1.2lb offering a light and flexible bodyboard. This foam is 100% waterproof and ideal in all climates.
|
 |
Carbon Fibre/ CFT Stringer
Lightweight filament wound carbon composite rod offering rigidity and durability.
|
 |
55/45 Rails
This rail setup leaves less of your rail in the water and offers the rider less contact with the water and therefore better drive and speed throughout all conditions.
|
 |
Graduated Channels
Graduated channels are a slow rise channel which redirect waterflow to create lift and allow the rider a better grip on the wave.
|
 |
DuPont Surlyn Slick
Surlyn plastic is thin and durable making it the most popular top end slick. Surlyn plastic will bend and stretch before it creases or snaps. This is a must have for intermediate through to advanced riders.

 |
Cellu-Cushion 8lb PE (Taiwan) Decking
Cellu-Cushion is a 8lb decking foam. It offers strength and ensures you get a longer lasting board. The design allows your body to lock with your board when riding, ensuring the board is comfortable to ride and hold.
|
 |
Clipped Crescent Tail
The clipped crescent tail is the most popular crescent tail option. Â This tail will perform when driving, turning, carving and releasing. Clipping the tail allows the rider to maximise their drive and maintain control through the outer concaves and clipped areas.
|
 |
Mesh
Mesh is a diamond shaped wire like plastic that runs under the slick of a bodyboard. Mesh creates a durable reinforcement between the bodyboards slick and the core making it stiffer, stronger and less likely to crease.
|
 |
Contours
The contours are the slight indents in the deck of a bodyboard. Their job is to help you lock in to the board as best as possible.Â
|
 |
Nose Bulbs
Nose bulbs are a slightly raised area of foam on the nose of the board which create a comfortable spot to grip the nose.
|
 |
Two-Piece Tail
The tail piece is a separate piece of decking that goes on the crescent tail. Done for aesthetic purposes only and as oppose to rolling the deck all the way down over the tail.
