Installing a leash (not included)
Be sure to adjust the length of the string that connects the leash to the plug so that the rail saver (protection strap) is resting on the edge of the board.
Shape
TAIL: SQUASH TAIL => increases the bearing surface while keeping a short board
BOTTOM: V-shape => Provides control
ROCKER: Low (6.6%) => Makes it easier to take off on the wave

Construction
Hand-laminated with epoxy resin on an EPS foam pad for added durability and dent resistance.
EPS core 30 kg/m3
2 x 6 oz fibreglass layers on top + 1 x 4 oz layer
1 x 4 oz layer + 1 x 6 oz layer on the bottom
2 x 6 oz layers on the rails
Epoxy resin
2 x 10 mm paulownia wood stringers.
The advantages of EPS/EPOXY boards
We chose this type of construction for our surfboards, because it offers numerous advantages.
The epoxy resin is more resistant to impacts and dents than polyester resin, which makes the board more hard-wearing.
The board is more reactive and can gather more speed
The EPS foam (expanded polystyrene) floats better, meaning that, for the same volume, you have more buoyancy than with a polyester/polyurethane board.
Protective cover
The board has a Flexi Hex® honeycomb case inside a sturdy box.
This case is reusable in your surfing cover to protect it while transporting.
Suitability
A highly versatile board in waves up to shoulder height. Use it anywhere. Surfers over 90 kg should consider the more sizeable 9’4” model.
Fins (not included)
1 x 8” fibreglass centre fin on US box and 2 x 4” side fins on FCS1 boxes.
The further forward the fin is in the box, the more manoeuvrable the board will be. The further back it is, the more drive you get.
