About the 9'1 Tri Fin US BOX longboard
The shape of the 9'1 PRISM is very versatile. It can be used for nose riding in 30 cm as well as surfing in 1M50 and more. Its fairly flat rocker provides excellent speed in soft waves. Its sufficiently wide tail will give larger riders plenty of lift for more acceleration in tight turns. Stable and well-balanced, you'll be able to step up to the nose whenever you want.
Its 2+1 setup (2 FCS 1 GL, 7.5 CMS side daggerboards + 1 9" American-mount, 23CMS centerboard) allows you to add a larger centerboard for more pivot in the wave.
Who can benefit from the 9'1 US BOX longboard?
Suitable for all body sizes and riding styles, it's a tough nut to crack for beginners and experts alike in tough conditions. A benchmark.
Our planks are laminated according to rigorous specifications to achieve greater strength with less weight:
- Air-conditioned lamination rooms guarantee ideal humidity levels, for perfect drying (greater strength with equal lamination).
- Vacuum lamination with excess resin drain: the fiberglass needs just the right amount of resin for impregnation. Vacuum lamination allows the resin to be drawn into the fiber, while the excess is evacuated via the drain. Because too much resin equals a heavier board, but above all one that's less solid because the fiberglass becomes brittle.
Construction Paulownia Eco Wood Concept
A new sandwich construction of epoxy and paulownia wood (very light and resistant) which stiffens the board and guarantees greater material durability.Â
Paulownia wood, also known as "aluminum wood", doesn't absorb water due to its low moisture content, is very dense and provides a watertight lamination under the epoxy glaze. Our paulownia surfboards are much stronger than conventional epoxy surfboards.
Paulownia wood also has ecological properties: it grows at a much faster rate than wood normally processed in factories (around 2 cm per day) and absorbs 10 times more CO2 than other types of wood. The paulownia forest renews itself extremely rapidly, and encouraging the exploitation of this tree will accentuate its plantation and expansion on the territory, allowing a greater absorption of CO2 in the long term.
