With so many different technologies in surfboard construction across our range from, Traditional Polyester (PU) right through to cutting edge technologies like FutureFlex (FF) and Carbon Vector (CV). Each technology brings a different element to the board, for example: extra strength, lighter weight, extra flex, etc.

So if you want to know more about what it all means, here is the first instalment about Carbon Vector…. the construction for the NEW 7s Slipstream and Salt Shaker surfboards which have just landed and available at Coastal Life. Call (08) 9534 3978 or email today for more details…

Carbon Vector
Carbon Vector (CV) construction delivers unmatched performance by harnessing the flex characteristics of epoxy and the strength of carbon. CV combines a stringerless, high-density custom shaped EPS core laminated with biaxial fiberglass, epoxy resin and a distinctive carbon fiber webbing, (positioned on the bottom and around the rails).
The carbon fiber webbing serves to evenly distribute tension across the entire surface area of the board to produce a lively, yet controlled flex pattern with remarkable memory recall. The biaxial fiberglass on the deck serves to add strength and also help prevent delaminating. CV boards feel fast, light and highly responsive in all conditions.
Created by GSI to compliment a range of board models and designs, this construction has proven to have superior flex properties over our other board technologies by up to 20%.
