This construction utilizes a higher density 30 kg EPS core with a full 3K carbon layup, and the entire deck features a wood sandwich layer to enhance durability in the stance area. Both the nose and tail have additional reinforcements, and the foil track system sits in our proven high density PVC block that is laminated into and throughout the board with staggered carbon layers. The entire board is produced in a multi-stage vacuum process which provides great skin tension for each layer at minimal weight.
