The FIBERFLEX EPS
PARABOLIC CARBON FIBER FRAME
HIGH DENSITY EPS FOAM CORE
EPOXY LAMINATE
CUSTOM SHAPED
Overview
The FiberFlex EPS is a completely custom surfboard shaped out of high density EPS - expand- able poly styrene - with a parabolic carbon fiber frame to create a board with a high energy,rapid spring back resulting in ultimate speed and drive.
The core
The EPS core is high density EPS - expandable poly styrene - foam with a similiar density to your regular PU foam blank. The main advantage of the EPS core is that has a high strength to weight ratio and good compression stability. This prolongs the life of the core and when combined with the parabolic carbon fiber frame and epoxy laminate your surfboard will maintain
it's liveliness for the longer than a PU surfboard
The parabolic Carbon Fiber Frame
The key to the flex pattern of the fiberflex boards is the parabolic carbon fiber frame that is constructed within the board design. The carbon fiber frame is designed to maximise speed and drive whilst maintaining a flex pattern that flows with waves. The structural design of the frame minimises twisting of the board which result in a board that is less likely to snap and crease.
The flex pattern of the board is very lively and responsive. You will feel the board responding to your surfing much quicker which result in more speed and drive when you need it.
The Epoxy Laminate
The expoxy laminate is the final process in manufacturing the board. It is glassed very similar to a standart PU surfboard only that we use a high quality, UV resistant epoxy resin system. The epoxy resin system creates a highly flexible laminate, resilient to cracking and fracturing and has a flexural life -span 2-3 times a polyester resin.
