...RIDE THEM? As with S-Core, pros ride the custom-shaped boards for flex; 20% lighter than PU boards, they last 5 to 10 times as long...
...critical design element for responsiveness and control, fins (a board can have up to five) are made using three major technologies that tailor the flex patterns by changing the fiber orientation...
...core. No stringer. Aviso sandwiches 1/4 in. of honeycombed material or foam between sheets of unidirectional carbon fiber--for a strong matrix--then seals it with heat. The deck and bottom flex independently: the cavity gives the rocker room to straighten out, pulling the rails and allowing for more speed on turns. Caution: your wax job might melt on these black boards...
...snowboards, is getting wet. Its S-Core design creates a shock-absorber-like effect in the deck using three polypropylene foam stringers in a hollow carbon core enclosed by a foam shell--an airplane wing on the water. The composites in the deck and rigid carbon bottom optimize flex memory, which improves control, says Salomon...
