If I ding my FiberFlex, how can it be fixed?

If you get a ding in your FiberFlex board, treat it the same way as you would with a PU board – except use Epoxy resins. First dry the board out to evaporate all water in the core, pre-sand, bog it up – with epoxy resin, reshape, laminate – with epoxy resin, pre-sand, then filler coat and sand back. Solarez has a epoxy repair kit for small cracks and dings

How does the FiberFlex range compare to other epoxy board currently on the market?

Many of the epoxy boards currently on the market are NOT custom made in Australia, do not have a high performance flex pattern which results in ultimate speed and drive and the designs are limited in shape and to stock sizes. The Parabolic carbon frame design delivers a high performance flex pattern, and high energy rapid spring back, which results in Ultimate Speed and Drive. The buoyancy of the FiberFlex models is very close to a standard PU board.

How does the weight compare to a standard glass PU board?

A standard glassed 6'2 PU board with FCS would weight 2.6 to 2.7kg on average. A FiberFlex would weight 2.5 to 2.6kg on average.

Is the FiberFlexEPS board available in all models?

Yes it is. All models can be ordered in this technology. The shape doesn't restrict the use of the technology.

How long would a FiberFlex last?

The FiberFlex has a high density EPS core. This EPS foam has a better strength to weight ratio than PU foam, so the density of EPS foam used in the FiberFlex, is more resistant to denting. The parabolic carbon fiber frame reduces the ability for the board to twist, and thus prevents the board from creasing and snapping. The epoxy resin is also a more durable resin than polyester, and also improves the lifespan of the board. Overall the FiberFlex would generally last twice the length of a normal PU board.

Do I need to change my dimensions when ordering a FiberFlexboard?

No you don't. The buoyancy of the FiberFlex is very similar to a normal PU board.
