We will provide detailed information about the CORK board, which will go on sale in Japan from around December 20th.
This LOST "Cork" surfboard is
This is a rare board that takes a lot of time and effort to make.
2.1 oz. strong EPS foam core
A special epoxy resin is used to create a dense, strong surface.
"Cork" is attached to the deck and carbon is wrapped around the rails.
We use a vacuum-sealing machine that carefully creates a vacuum-packed state over 72 hours.
All materials, including the epoxy glass layer, are absorbed into EPS foam.
A major feature of this board is that the deck is covered with approximately 5mm thick cork.
Therefore, the front of the board deck has a traction effect, and the front and rear feet
Since it is non-slip, there is no need to wax this board.
All rails are carbon fiber from nose to tail.
The entire board is housed in a carbon frame, giving it a structure similar to that of a tennis racket.
After sanding the joint between the carbon rail and the cork,
Decorated with black pin lines, it has a beautiful and luxurious appearance.
In addition, the carbon rails are given the unique luster of epoxy by applying an extremely thin hot coat and then polishing it.
The markings on the bottom side are the same as those on a regular board,
The mark on the deck side is a mark that has been hand-burned into the cork.
Naturally, the leash plug is also beautifully built in like this.
It also features MAYHEM's handwritten pencil signature and board dimensions.
The official import mark developed for Japan will also be included on the bottom tail.
The board itself is very light.
The ride feels springy thanks to the suppleness of the soft flex EPS core.
This is a bouncy board. It will appeal to those who prefer a softer flex like the FIVER-FLEX and Placebo-FLEXLITE/FLEXLITE-TURBO from the past. You can use the flex to gain speed even on flat sections, so it is a fast-moving board that is suitable for small beach breaks and allows for light surfing.
Since cork itself has buoyancy, the board will have slightly more buoyancy than the CL value printed on the board, which means that paddling and takeoff will be faster than with a polyboard.
