Exo Flex replaces the traditional timber stringer with a precision engineered carbon fibre, leaf spring system. The result is a board that very efficiently loads up on kinetic energy during turns releasing it as pure drive. All this in a system with almost limitless permeations that can be tailored to the riders specific weight and preferred conditions.

1 - SPRIING REPLACES STRINGER

For the past 60 years or more surfboards have relied primarily on a timber stringer for the majority of a surfboards longitudinal strength and overall rigidity. Exo Flex replaces this stringer with two engineered carbon fibre leaf springs which are tuned to the board and rider, enhancing performance. 

2 - BOARD LOADS UNDER PRESSURE

Boards retain Kinetic Energy as they load up and bend through turns, it’s how quickly that energy can be released that makes the difference. This is where Exo Flex gets it’s explosive speed, the multiple, staggered carbon layers and their positioning in the board snap back once the pressure is removed  in a tiny fraction of the time it takes a timber stringered board.

3 - ENERGY STORED IN THE SPRING

Kinetic energy is stored by the two springs during the loading phase as the surfer initiates a turn and the energy releases coming out. It’s the same physics as a drawn bow releasing an arrow or a pole vault pole under load.

4 - RELEASED AS DRIVE & PROJECTION SPEED

With the Exo Flex system you exit the turn with more speed than you had going in due to the unloading of the springs. The energy had to go somewhere and it’s changed form to drive, speed and projection.
