Features
Core - NRG (1.6lb Polypro)
1.6lb NRG+(Indonesia)
Lightweight fusion foam compressed at 1.6lb offering a light and flexible bodyboard. This foam is 100% waterproof and ideal in mild to cool climates
Stringer - 1 x CFT Stringer
Carbon Fibre/ CFT Stringer
Lightweight filament wound carbon composite rod offering rigidity and durability
Rails - 55/45 Double Rails
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.
Channels - Slotted Channels
Slotted Channels
Slotted channels are a slender and deeper channel design with less graduation. These channels offer optimum control in bigger and heavier waves
Slick - Dupont® Surlyn™
DuPont SurlynSlick
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
Deck - WaveCushion 8lb PE Deck Skin with NEW Q12 backing
Wavecushion 8lb NXLPE(Indo)Decking
Wavecushion decking is a 8lb decking foam. Much like the PE core, the PE decking is soft and flexible. Unlike the PE core, PE decking is used on all top end boards as for the flex and softness which allows riders to create a foam memory. Despite being soft and flexible PE is still extraordinarily durable.
Tail -
Two-Piece Clipped Crescent Tail
Clipped Crescent Tail
The clipped crescent tail is the most popular crescent tail option. 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
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.
Additional Features

Bull Grip Nose Bulbs.
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
