I've explained this in detail on my blog recently.
Including "XTR PARALLEL-FLEX"
Love Surf recommends it,
We have quantified three popular board materials.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"POLY PARALLEL-FLEX"
Ride feel
Acceleration thanks to POLY's unique flexible flex and extra flex in the tail.
It sinks a lot and floats well, making it easy for the rails to get in and creating a solid line.
The board has its own weight, making the paddle stable and easy to take off regardless of the conditions.
7. Lightweight
9. Bending
9 Repulsion
7. Buoyancy strength
10 Ease of takeoff
7. Impact resistance
9. Heat resistance
7 Waterproof (water absorption)
8. UV discoloration
6. Water absorption and discoloration
9. Length of use
10 Ease of repair
10. Newness
10 Looks/Style
10 Uniqueness
9. Cost performance
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"XTR 3D CARBOLIC"
Ride feel
The stringerless design effectively utilizes the speed flex of XTR foam.
Kevlar carbon rails are impact resistant, prevent twisting and eliminate unnecessary flex.
The board has a good weight and is well balanced for paddling and riding, making it easy to use.

"XTR PARALLEL-FLEX"
Ride feel
Flexible flex performance with strong rebound and bounce.
The carbon Kevlar on the bottom increases rebound, making it easy to gain speed.
The board itself is light, easy to handle, and quick to move when riding.

I have then compiled these figures into a table for comparison.
Please refer to these figures and decide which items you would like to prioritize.
Choose the material for your next new board!
