Below are some words that I got from the SurfWorld web site: Aviso Surfboards specialize in composite engineering techniques to manufacture hollow, carbon fiber surfboards. The materials and methods used are predominately known to the aerospace and defense industry, where design and manufacture of structures must be lightweight, strong, and have ideal flex characteristics to withstand intense physical forces. Aviso pursued constructing a surfboard based foremost on increasing performance and handling characteristics while bolstering strength and durability factors by orders of magnitude. A High Temperature Fiber Placement Process allows the boards to be some of the lightest and strongest boards ever designed and produced. Nothing ties the top and bottom components of the boards together except for the rails. This enables the deck and bottom to work and flex independently. This unique feature acts as a suspension system to launch the surfer from one turn into the next with remarkable control and momentum. Since the deck is not directly connected to the bottom, the board absorbs and stores potential energy and propels the surfer swiftly and efficiently, allowing an almost constant state of acceleration to be realized. Carbon fiber has remarkable reflex memory with an ideal coefficient of restoration, a property inherent in any rigid structure that allows it to return to its original state after a physical force is applied. How much does a material flex & how fast does it flex back? Analogies in sports include the technological transition from wood to carbon graphite tennis rackets and aluminum bike forks to carbon fiber. So what's all this mean to you? The boards hold their speed, feel natural in the lip and rip turns with out losing any speed. So in addition to all of those powerful words above, I am going to send a new kick pad so you can replace the current one, if you like. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to email or call me at 904-553-4650.  All buyers outside the continental US, please call for shipping details.  See in picture number 12 where the board is upside down? That could be you! Phew, amazing. Place a Bid!
