Surfer Magazine Surfboard Buyer's Guide

What technologies are you integrating into your shapes? Our latest
handmade composite technology, the ‘Titanium II’ utilizes polymer
engineered stringers on the perimeter of the board or down the
center; this material is made of a shatter-resistant matrix that is
stronger than wood, and capable of flexing back on itself without
breaking. It provides an unparalleled positive torque to the board
while at the same time increasing break strength. A hybrid carbon/
kevlar mesh acts as a support underneath the glass. The mesh al-
lows for the use of single layers of glass laminate to each side of the
board; equal layers of glass to the deck and bottom panels creates
a whole new torsion of synergy in the board’s flex characteristic.
With a balanced lamination there is an increased ability to rebound
more efficiently as each side plays off of the other. This lets you
blast through maneuvers with more drive and responsiveness. The
curved mesh panels that flare out in the nose and tail areas of the
board create a strategic flex pattern; with the middle being stiffer
and the ends flexing more as you get further toward the nose and
tail. Like how a snowboard or ski will warp and flex more on the
ends, but instead of snow, we are applying the concept to hydro-
dynamic flex. This means more drive on bottom turns and whippier
fins and tails in the lip. The epoxy core of the boards is specifically
fabricated to yield higher compression strength, memory, and less
water absorption than typical EPS. The finished boards are very
light and responsive, three- to five-times stronger than a standard
Poly board, and they keep their life much longer than the Polys.
