All standard boards, epoxy or polyester, are built with one layer of light weight inexpensive fiberglass on the bottom and two similar layers of fiberglass on the top. Each layer having only two directions of fiber orientation, 0 and 90 degrees. We use a quasi-Isotropic, multi vector orientation of cloth with many layers that greatly increases overall strength and provides more uniform flex. Combined with lower resin to cloth ratios we can build a composite board that is far lighter and stronger than that available with standard hand lay-up.Optimizing resin ratios also reduces the chance of fracturing do to everyday wear and tear on the surfboard i.e. the cloth does the work as opposed the the resin matrix which is inherently fragile.
We only use aerospace fibers to build the vacuum bagged substrate over our high quality steam pressed eps foam.
Creating a shell that has over 1000 lbs breaking strength/in-sq. on the deck of the surfboard as compared to a standard board having 120-170 lbs/in-sq. This is all before the resin matrix is infused which vastly strengthens the vacuum bagged board and narrowly increases strength in the hand lay-up. There is no way of building a stronger composite than vacuum bagging and particular material. Thus by using the strongest and lightest available materials available we can achieve a far better product. Lighter Stronger Faster.
CoreVac boards have a superior flex to that of any standard surfboard. Stiffer under the front foot, pushing less water then normal overly flexy boards that do not distribute the load of the riders front foot over the entire deck.
Noticeable acceleration from the initial drop through turns and even over the flat section where standard boards tend bend in the middle of the board. The CoreVac board will flex more aptly in the nose and tail sections like that of a bow or the body of a fish or bird. Providing a more comfortable ride than the standard board, More speed, and quicker response time
Some more about the Corevac Process:
- No issues with resin shinkage changing to shape of the board. Every poly board is different from the last one because the resin shiriks dramatically when it kicks off. We lock down every board into an exact rocker posistion, so we can control the outcome of the ride. You really can get an exact replica majic board.
- The center of gravity moves way back behind the front foot as the weight of the fibers and fins are more pronounced in those areas. This make the board stick to your feet and rotate about that center of gravity much quicker without losing speed ( this is a whole book in itself on benefits…. I need to write a paper here…..)
- We recycle all of our leftover foam.
- All material are fabricated in the USA. (Fcs Fusion box is our only import)
