TECHNOLOGY INDEX
POLYPROPLENE 1.9lb density Polypropylene Kinetic Core delivers amazing projection and response as high pressure cell-fusion created during the blanks manufacturing process. Kinetic Core is a warm water core available in various reinforcement configurations, each tuned-in for specific wave conditions.
PFS3 Based on our ground breaking PFS3TM technology, the ProRide range of boards feature dual 5mm wide Airtex T90 high-density foam beams embedded into the core for a more lively flex.
ISS Interchangeable Stringer System® revolutionizes high performance bodyboarding by giving the rider the freedom to fine tune the flex of their board by changing the stringer.
RAILS Percetage of Botom Rail to Top Rail. 55/45 Rails are Perfect Balance between Drive and Manouvability.
VENTURI CHANNELS The Venturi effect is named after Italian physicist Battista Venturi who first discovered the Venturi effect 200 years ago. The Venturi effect is a result of fluid being constricted through a narrowing of a pipe, and as a result it is forced to increase in speed and decrease in pressure, and in the case of the AKU Venturi channels, the same theory is applied Water enters the channel, and as it is squeezed through the channel, it drops in pressure, and increases in speed, creating a jet water which adds stability, speed and performance to a board.
SURLYN DuPontTM Surlyn® slick is the finest grade bottom skin for a bodyboard because of it’s rubber like properties, superior recoil and resistance to scratching and wear and tear, hence the reason why Surlyn® is the universal skin used for Golf Balls.
WAVECUSHION 8LB NXLPE 8pcf non-crosslink Polyethylene outer skins. The premier skin for high performance bodyboarding.
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.
DECK CONTOUR are the slight indents in the deck of a bodyboard. Their job is to help you lock in to the board as best as possible.
MESH Diamond shaped mesh weave fused between the boards core and slick bottom skin for enhanced stiffness and recoil.
CNC SHAPED CAD designed templates precision cut with our CNC shaping machines for superior accuracy and consistency.
ISS TAIL PLUG Silicone Rubber Moulded fit
XFL ARMOUR heat laminated Crosslink foam forms the inner rails and nose and tail armour, encapsulating the full inner perimeter of the board for premium seam strength and impact protection.
NOSE BULBS Die-cut foam bulbs are positioned at each corner of the nose to enhance finger grip. Now with a new, curved contour for an even better handle.
