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 - MiniQuad Concave
MiniQuad Concave
The X4 MiniQuad takes the key design factors of our groundbreaking full-length QuadConcave and shrinks it down, focusing on the back half of the board. Starting below the wide-point, the X4 essentially splits the hull in two, combining the glide and flow of a flat bottom with the drive and directional control of the QuadConcave. The X4 MiniQuad is designed to excel in small to medium size surf and for quicker transitions closer to the pocket of the wave
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. Q12 – Higher density crosslinked PP foam backing layer delivers more resilient nose and tail seam fusion and increases board strength
Tail - Clipped Crescent
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
Additional Features
Mesh
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
CNC Shaped
CNC Shaping
Short for“computernumerical control”, CNC machines allow shapers to cut boards perfectly to the mm. CNC machines offer the sharpest possible finish to bodyboard manufacturing
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
Nose & Tail Guards, XFL Inner Rails
Manufacturing Country - Indonesia
Manufacturing Country: Indonesia/ Broady
The Broady bodyboard factory started in New Zealand in the 80’s but relocated to Indonesia in the early 2000’s. With two of the industries leading shapers at the helm, the Broady Factory uses CNC shaping, buzztech heat lamination and purpose built Aku Shaping in order to produce high performance bodyboards for most of the world’s leading brands
