Mini-Malibu 8'0 PAULOWNIA FCS 1

About the Mini-Malibu 8'0 Prism Surfboards

Very comfortable in small waves, this mini malibu offers good maneuverability and remarkable overall ease of use. Ideal for beginners, this board will also find fans among surfers in the progression phase, as efficient as a longboard with superior maneuverability.

You can devote yourself to reading the wave, and the mini-malibu will respond instantly, allowing you to reach your takeoff zone in just a few strokes and set off effortlessly.

Which mini-malibu 8'0 surfer is right for you?

Versatile and modern, it's easy for riders weighing under 85 kilos, and very powerful for larger riders (85 to 100 kilos and more). Its fairly wide rear end gives larger riders plenty of lift for greater acceleration.

Our planks are laminated to rigorous specifications to ensure 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. 

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.
