Controlling flex in surfboards: delving into SPINE-TEK®

We delved into the world of surfboard flex control with SPINE-TEK®! Developed and patented by Shapers Manufacturing Pty Ltd, this material acts as a dampener or shock absorber. What did our data show? Adding SPINE-TEK® to PU or EPS cores transforms surfboard behavior, creating distinct differences in performance characteristics. When comparing PU core boards to those with SPINE-TEK®, there's a noticeable increase in stiffness. Similarly, EPS core boards augmented with SPINE-TEK® exhibit heightened stiffness. Inclusion of SPINE-TEK® technology induces a notable increase in damping for both EPS and PU cores. This enhancement contributes to a reduction in unwanted vibrations and oscillations, improving stability, control and comfort for the surfer.
