It had been raining since morning, but the weather cleared up in the afternoon.
The waves were like this, but there weren't many people and it was pretty empty.
Today we're going to talk about Epoxy Pro, a company in Oceanside.
We went undercover at the XTR factory to investigate some of the slow-finishing boards.
We have received custom orders and reservations from customers who have been delayed in completing their orders.
Check the finish of the board,
I instructed Babiar at XTR to prioritize finishing the slower boards.
This is the XTR 3D CARBOLIC before the XTR glass lamination process.
These boards were brought in from LOST after their shaping was completed.
The standard setting, FCS FUSION plug hole, was also opened with a special tool like this,
The FUSION plug is installed inside the XTR glass, making it strong.

As you can see, compared to regular POLY boards, the production process is more complicated and involves more steps.
It takes time and money.
However, the more effort you put into it, the better its durability and performance will be.
These are the newly completed "XTR 3D CARBOLIC" boards that will soon be sent to Japan.
These will be sent by air from CA to Japan next weekend.
