Understanding this bodyboard's technology

	Lightweight beaded foam compressed at 1.9lb offering mild rigidity and enhanced buoyancy. This foam is 100% waterproof and ideal in all temperatures.
	Carbon Fibre/ CFTStringer Lightweight filament wound carbon composite rod offering rigidity and durability.
	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 Channels Slotted channels are a slender and deeper channel design with less graduation. These channels offer optimum control in bigger and heavier waves.
	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.
	Wavecushion 8lb Wavecushion decking is a 8lb decking foam. Much like the PE core, the PE decking is soft and flexible.
	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.
	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.
	Manufacturing Country: China Most, if not all, entry level bodyboards come out of China. Mass produced for Summer, these bodyboards are made for beginner level bodyboarding in the shore.
