About the Mini-Malibu 8’0 Prism Surfboards
Very comfortable in small waves, this mini malibu offers good maneuverability and a remarkable overall ease. Ideal for beginners, this board will also find its fans among surfers in the progression phase, as effective as a longboard with superior maneuverability. You can concentrate on reading the wave, the mini-malibu responds instantly to join your takeoff zone in a few paddle strokes and take off effortlessly.
Which surfer is the mini-malibu 8’0 suitable for?
Versatile and modern, it is easy for less than 85 kilograms and very effective for larger sizes (85 to 100 kilograms and more). Its fairly wide rear will give larger sizes good buoyancy for more relaunch.
The implementation of the stratification of our boards benefits from a rigorous specification to obtain more solidity with less weight:
• Air-conditioned stratification rooms to ensure ideal humidity, for perfect drying (more solidity with equal stratification).
• Vacuum stratification with resin evacuation drain: fiberglass needs the right amount of resin for its impregnation. Vacuum packaging allows the resin to enter the fiberglass, the excess is evacuated by the drain. Too much resin equals a heavier board, but above all less solid because the fiberglass becomes brittle.
Paulownia Eco Wood Concept construction
A new sandwich epoxy and paulownia wood construction that stiffens the board and ensures better durability of the materials. Paulownia wood, also called “aluminum wood”, does not absorb water due to its low moisture content, it is very dense and allows for a waterproof stratification under the epoxy glaze. Our paulownia surfboards are much stronger than traditional epoxy surfboards. Paulownia wood also has ecological properties, it grows at a much faster rate than the wood usually worked in the factory (about 2 cm per day) and absorbs 10 times more CO2 than the others. The renewal of the paulownia forest is extremely fast, and promoting the exploitation of this tree will accentuate its planting and expansion in the territory, which will allow for greater CO2 absorption in the long term.
