Material Science

Choosing the Right Material
for Every Application

We work with two core materials — each selected for specific use cases and performance requirements.

Marine-Grade PVC

1100 denier PVC fabric — our most versatile material. UV-stabilized, abrasion-resistant, and REACH compliant. Ideal for SUP boards where weight and cost efficiency matter.

Fibreglass & Polyethylene

Fibreglass-laminated SUPs for premium stiffness and glide. Rotomoulded polyethylene for heavy-duty rental and rescue use requiring maximum impact resistance.

Manufacturing Capabilities

Precision Manufacturing
at Every Step

Our 12,000 m² facility is equipped with specialized machinery for every stage of production.

CNC Cutting

Computer-controlled cutting ensures precise, repeatable fabric panels with minimal waste. Every piece fits exactly as designed.

High-Frequency Welding

Industrial HF welding creates seams stronger than the base material. Consistent temperature and pressure control ensures air-tight seals across every production run.

Drop Stitch Core Assembly

Thousands of polyester threads connect top and bottom fabric layers, allowing high-pressure inflation (15-20 PSI) for rigid, stable SUP boards.

Pressure Testing

Every inflatable product is pressure-tested before shipping. Boards are tested at 1.25x rated pressure — if it holds there, it will perform on the water.

Seam Strength Testing

Random samples from each production batch undergo destructive seam strength testing. Results are logged and traceable to specific production runs.

Water Testing

Every model undergoes sea trials before certification. Real-world testing in coastal conditions validates performance, handling, and stability.

Design & Engineering

Engineered for Real Conditions

Our design philosophy starts with how the board will be used — then builds the engineering around that use case.

**Performance Hull Design:** Each hull shape is tuned for its use case — displacement noses for touring glide, added rocker for surf agility, flat stable profiles for fishing and yoga. **Drop-Stitch Safety:** Every board features a rigid drop-stitch core with reinforced rails. If a section is damaged, the high-tensile drop-stitch structure keeps the board operational. **Ergonomic Deck Layout:** Deck-pad zoning, carry-handle position, and mounting points are designed around rider comfort during extended use — whether touring, fishing, or patrolling. **Custom Configuration:** Rail colors, deck pad configuration, accessory mounts, gear capacity — each model can be customized to match specific operational requirements.
