Nishii's new test board is now complete, so we'd like to introduce it to you.
The model is "Puddle Jumper."
Next to me is Coco, 5'5.5".
This dark purple resin board is made from regular POLYESTER foam (blanks).
This is a board that has been 3D vacuum glassed using Hydroflex epoxy resin.
The inside is made of PU foam, so it's not as light as EPS or EFC,
The outer layer is made of epoxy resin, which is elastic and absorbs shock better than poly.
It is significantly stronger.
I was surprised that the surface was softer than I expected, as it felt like it would go back into place when pressed.
It seems like it will absorb the impact if it hits something unless it's sharp.
The board measures 5'4".
The FCSII fin box is a combination of two colors like this,
"KA size M" on the side,
On the rear, "CARVER NEO GRASS M size"
I'll start by riding it with the QUAD, and if it's too loose I'll add an AUROLA REY fin to the center.
After applying the LOST grips and looking at the tail, I confirmed that it has a wide squash tail design that would look good with a pointed nose. I can't wait to try riding it! I'll report my first impressions once I've ridden it!
