Maximum durability and value. Tufskin AST technology uses layers of 3 dimensional 400g glass mat wetted out with an expanding epoxy resin system that creates volume within the skin as it cures under pressure. This creates a thick, stiff, and durable sandwiched laminate. A 3/4 - deck wood layer improves rigidity and deck impact resistance. Advantages: tough and light construction, more value, most durable offering.

The original Wood technology pioneered by Starboard in 1994. The lightweight fusion blown EPS has PVC reinforcements in bedded for all insert's reinforcements. Military grade fiberglass wraps around the core in an Epoxy resin matrix to form an inner sandwich wall under the combination of a strong and stiff 510kg/m3 0.6mm Australian Pine and Makori veneer. Wood's unique properties are its natural rigidity, superior resistance to compression and higher energy absorption compared to carbon. It is the construction with the highest dynamic shape stability. Advantages: light weight, highest dynamic shape stability, rigid flex, quick response. TAC stands for The Arctic Challenge, Snowboarder legend Terje Håkonsen's annual invitational event.

Paddleboards are relatively long so swing weight is simply crucial. Every 100 grams saved can be felt when carving on a wave. Our new Brushed Carbon wave boards are up to 3kg lighter than our AST technology, which already is the industry Benchmark. The incredible weight saving makes the Brushed Carbon boards feel 1 to 2 feet shorter. The boards are monitored by the tightest QC system available. A combination of a ultra light carbon weave and medium density extra high quality PVC sandwich foam wrapped around a light density EPS core. The full PVC wrap sandwich with Carbon our strongest offering for big wave days. The first real performance technology to be introduced to the world of paddle boarding.
