LIGHTBOARDCORP® PARADOXA UD: Key Features

• Radical low-center deck stance – under waterline – combined with drainage valve system
• New tail shape optimizing stability and easyness of turning – wider tail block with tapered thickness
• Hard tail edges to create the least possible interference releasing the water
• Optimized sleek v-round nose shape to reduce drag
• New s-style deck contour to reduce water entry at buoy turns
• Eco friendly AUTOCLAVE UNIDIRECTIONAL CARBON PREPREG TECHNOLOGY: This technology is based on premium production standards developed for aerospace and formula racing cars. 4 layers of epoxy resin impregnated unidirectional carbon fiber with a closed cell high density PVC foam in the center are layed up in the mold. There is no wet lamination necessary as the curing happens in autoclave technology using 4-5 times atmospheric pressure + heat which melts the resin and bonds all layers far more accurate compared to wet lamination process. Light Board Corp new UD PREPREG technology is far more eco friendly than conventional build sup race boards. No styrofoam core, less harmful lamination process, no excess epoxy resin and guaranteed precision to bond each fiber leads to longevity, precise shapes and higher performance. While paddling each stroke energy is transmitted to forward momentum.
