Board Upgrades

Every material and construction choice affects performance, durability, weight, and longevity. Below is a breakdown of optional upgrades and what they actually do

What it is:

Flax is a natural fiber reinforcement used in place of or alongside fiberglass. It changes flex characteristics and impact resistance.

FlaxReinforcment

Performance Benefit:

  • Increased impact resistance

  • More controlled flex response

  • Subtle vibration dampening

  • Distinct aesthetic (natural fiber texture)

Who’s It For:

  • Surfers wanting durability without heavy weight

  • Eco-conscious build

Why It Cost More:

  • Material cost is significantly higher than standard E-glass

  • Lamination is more labor-intensive

  • Requires controlled resin saturation
