Tech Info!

[Eric making use of the Stringers...] Variable Flex Stringer System enables a bodyboard to be calibrated precisely to its flexibility & stiffness characteristic. It consists of two grades each of tabular and tabular stringer configurations; in general, the tabular stringers provide more recoil than stiffness to a bodyboard; tubular stringers is other way around that more toward the stiffness than flexibility of board. With the invention of VFSS, bodyboards could be dialed into almost any property of stiffness & flexibility strategically. This unprecedented benefit is largely enhance the handicap of conventional bodyboards; which the property of core seems to be the only factor that in effect to the performance of a board and this could become vital when climate and water temperature issues are involved

Did you know?

The technology used to shape Respect Bodyboards (CNC precision) is also used in the aerospacial industry? Yeah, CNC (also known as computational numerical control) is a control system in which numerical values corresponding to desired tool or control positions are generated by a computer. The same precision required to ride in a barrel!
