Understanding this bodyboard's technology

	1.2lb D12 PP (Taiwan) Lightweight extruded foam compressed at 1.2lb offering a light and flexible bodyboard. This foam is 100% waterproof and ideal in all climates.
	PRS Stringer Tapered carbon fibre stringer which is wider and stiffer at the tail of the bodyboard then narrower and more flexible at the nose of the bodyboard. Designed to maximise projection.
	55/45 Rails This rail setup leaves less of your rail in the water and offers the rider less contact with the water and therefore better drive and speed throughout all conditions.
	Graduated Channels Graduated channels are a slow rise channel which redirect waterflow to create lift and allow the rider a better grip on the wave.
	DuPont Surlyn Slick Surlyn plastic is thin and durable making it the most popular top end slick. Surlyn plastic will bend and stretch before it creases or snaps. This is a must have for intermediate through to advanced riders.
	Cellu-Cushion 8lb PE (Taiwan) Decking Cellu-Cushion is a 8lb decking foam. It offers strength and ensures you get a longer lasting board. The design allows your body to lock with your board when riding, ensuring the board is comfortable to ride and hold.
	Skintec Underlay Skintec is a second layer of decking made of polypropylene fused with mesh. This deck type softens any big impacts your board might take and is used to maximise your bodyboards durability.
	Clipped Crescent Tail The clipped crescent tail is the most popular crescent tail option.  This tail will perform when driving, turning, carving and releasing. Clipping the tail allows the rider to maximise their drive and maintain control through the outer concaves and clipped areas.
	Two-Piece Tail The tail piece is a separate piece of decking that goes on the crescent tail. Done for aesthetic purposes only and as oppose to rolling the deck all the way down over the tail.
	Mesh Mesh is a diamond shaped wire like plastic that runs under the slick of a bodyboard. Mesh creates a durable reinforcement between the bodyboards slick and the core making it stiffer, stronger and less likely to crease.
	Nose Bulbs Nose bulbs are a slightly raised area of foam on the nose of the board which create a comfortable spot to grip the nose.
