VS have been working on the shape and materials of this board over the last 12months with Aaron ‘Azza’ Glossop who had this to say.“‘The creation of the VS-DK model for me has been an epic experience, trialling shapes and specs until it ticked all the boxes. The board loves big steep take offs, gives plenty of control on rail from the bottom turn into snaps, carves and floats on the knee. I love having a board in the car that I can trust to do the job!”

Understanding this bodyboard's technology

	1.9lbKinetic PP(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.
	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 riderless contact with the water and therefore better drive and speed throughout all conditions.
	Aku Parallel Channels
	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 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.

	Full Crescent Tail The full crescent tail is the most control-oriented bodyboard tail. This tail will perform when turning and carving. Using the full length of the crescent allows maximum mobility and water flow.
	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.
	CNC Shaping Short for“computernumerical control”, CNC machines allow shapers to cut boards perfectly to the mm. CNC machines offer the sharpest possible finish to bodyboard manufacturing.
	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.
