Understanding this bodyboard's technology

PE bodyboard information at Inverted Bodyboarding
Polyethylene PE (Indonesia)
Lightweight fusion foam compressed at 1.9lb offering instant recoil, enhanced stiffness and compression strength. This foam is 100% waterproof and ideal in mild to warm temperatures.
EXT Stringer information at Inverted Bodyboarding
EXT Stringer
Pultruded plastic and carbon composite rod offering rigidity and durability.
55 45 Rail information at Inverted Bodyboarding
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.
Slotted Channel information at Inverted Bodyboarding
Slotted Channels
Slotted channels are a slender and deeper channel design with less graduation. These channels offer optimum control in bigger and heavier waves. 
HDPE Plastic Slick Bodyboard information at Inverted Bodyboarding

HDPE Slick
HDPE is a high density plastic. This plastic is hard wearing and very stiff. Whilst it will perform as per the norm, it is more prone to creasing when under heavy stress as for its high density properties.
Wave core PE deck skin on a bodyboard
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.
Clipped Crescent Tail Information at Inverted Bodyboarding
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.
Nose bulb information at Inverted bodyboarding
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.
CNC Shaping information at Inverted Bodyboarding
CNC Shaping
Short for “computer numerical control”, CNC machines allow shapers to cut boards perfectly to the mm. CNC machines offer the sharpest possible finish to bodyboard manufacturing.
Indonesia bodyboard manufacturing information at Inverted Bodyboarding
Manufacturing Country: Indonesia/ Broady
Bodyboards that come from Indonesia come out of Nick Mesritz’s factory. Nick Mesritz is the owner and shaper of both NMD and VS bodyboards and has more than 20 years experience in shaping, testing and creating wavecraft.
