6’3”x18 1/2”x2 1/4” This surfboard is a Salomon S-Core Technology Design that was inspired by aeronautic technologies, creating boards which are extremely flexible, well profiled, super light, and very strong at the same time. The S-Core construction method starts with a carbon fiberglass frame base which provides the stiffness necessary for speed and responsiveness. Three Polypropylene foam stringers are then glued to the carbon fiber frame to provide support and dampening. This completes the core structure of the board. The top layers consist of 4oz fiberglass and extruded polystyrene (EPS) foam. The EPS top coat provides a “soft” feeling under your feet, similar to that of a traditional PU board. Once the EPS foam/fiberglass topcoat has been attached to the core, the board is then given to the individual shaper for hand finishing. Once the board is finished by the shaper, it is then hand glassed by the laminator using epoxy resin. Firstly, this method produces a lighter, more durable board. Secondly, this method is much more environmentally friendly. The EPS foam used in producing S-core surfboards is CFC/HCFC free, 100% recyclable, PVC free and non-polluting due to the fact that it is dilutable into water and air. Salomon Technologies worked with a number of shapers and surfboard companies & shapers to construct S-core versions of their original surfboard designs. S-Core is no longer being produced as Salomon canceled the surf program. Some key features regarding the S core: The S core surfboard is 10% stronger than a PU board, S-Core surfboard has 20% more flex and damping than a PU board, S-Core surfboard is made from extruded polystyren and is “blue” The S core is not an Epoxy sandwich board like a SurfTech & is more responsive, lighter, stronger and faster than a traditional PU shortboard. Note that both Surftech and S-Core technologies were made popular after the Clark... Fins sold separately.
