Summer 2010 Designs Trends

admin — Tue, 10 Aug 2010 20:30:55 +0000

There is a general tendency to refer to the narrower, thinner boards that many have been riding over the past number of years as performance boards and all the other designs as alternatives for those who don’t have the ability to ride these “performance” boards. The truth is though, that the shorter, wider, and thicker boards which have been the general trend over the past year or two, are every bit the performance boards of their narrower, thinner counterparts.

After all, what is a performance board but a board that allows your surfing to excel in any given condition that it was designed for. The trend in putting five fin placements on many of these little boards is awesome. It increases the versatility of your board by allowing you to ride it as either a three or a four fin. Another trend, for me at least, is I’m doing many boards using the CoreVac technology.

That’s a process using a 1 1/2 lb. EPS foam core and then glassed using a vacuum bagging system. The end result is a board with a much higher strength to weight ratio and an increase in the boards performance due to the flex and weight characteristics. I’ll be going into more detail on all of these trends in the near future.
