LOST "CARBON WRAP" Why is the deck of a surfboard so strong?

untitled-10 About the LOST "CARBON WRAP" surfboard p11a0579 I'm sure those of you who read this 24S blog already know this. img_0345-2 LOST's "CARBON WRAP" took approximately three years of research and development before it was released. d040e554-61a4-4bd1-82d2-306c2686708d Why did it take so long to develop? 78a02859-3df2-44c7-a924-c631a59f653a-2 This is because it was developed with an emphasis on not only "performance" but also "durability." screen-shot-2015-12-02-at-4-38-10-pm-copy-2 *Types of epoxy resin and mixing ratios *Type of carbon wrapped around the deck from the bottom *Carbon is also installed on the deck * The curve and placement of the two carbon bands *Special cross fiber to strengthen the deck surface p1090392 What is less known is that So that you can ride the board for a long time on the deck surface, "X Cross" is used to maximize strength against breakage. wrap6-jpg This "X Cross" crosses diagonally at 45 degrees. A thread-like cross fiber called "polypro" is woven vertically into the cross. Since "X Cross" is installed on the entire deck surface of the board, "Polypro" is also distributed vertically throughout the board. Take a look at the black carbon band on the deck surface of the tail. The white thread-like material is "polypropylene" and you can see the "X-cross" woven at a 45-degree angle. img_8714 If you already own the LOST Carbon Wrap, If you are considering this as your next board, Please take a look at the straight threads of "Polypro" woven into the 45-degree "X Cross." Please take a look at the structure of this soft and flexible EPS epoxy board, which is also extremely strong. img_8500 This "CARBON WRAP" technology is It's such a theoretical flex structure for a surfboard that it has been patented. p11a4578 "CARBON WRAP" technology is Two carbon bands control the flex of the entire board to achieve the ideal flex. cw-copy-2 When you want to make a big bottom turn that requires drive, the whole board flexes. Immediately after bending your knees and then releasing your weight, the rear tail section from the carbon bunt wrapped in front of your back foot flexes extra, accelerating and increasing your speed. img_8500 Also, when you lip the board or hit the top of the wave, the board bounces back easily, It's fast to react and doesn't slow down, allowing for seamless maneuvers and repeatable tricks. p11a4331 The acceleration gained from this board construction is This is a patented technology that can only be used with LOST's CARBON WRAP! https://vimeo.com/163062207 For a complete look at LOST's "CARBON WRAP," Check out this video explaining Mayhem from the development designer himself!
