| E-GLASS is the most common fiber reinforcement used
in the composites world. It is popular because it offers very
good performance for how much it costs. It is not as strong or
stiff as the higher priced Sglass and Carbon, but is still a high
quality material. Our Eglass boards are constructed exactly
like the end Sglass and Carbon but with this more inexpensive
material. They are also glassed a little heavier to compensate
for some of the loss of strength and stiffness. |

| S-GLASS stands for structural fiberglass. It
is 30% stronger than regular fiberglass and about 15% stiffer.
It also costs more than twice as much! But when you are buying
a high end product it is important to pay a little extra for the
things that will make it last. Our S-Glass skimboards have
multiple layers of S-Glass on each side. This makes the board
a little stronger than an eglass board of the same weight and a
little bit stiffer too. |

| CARBON FIBER is practically synonymous with top of
the line in any industry. This fabric is highly coveted in skimboards for its extreme strength and stiffness. Carbon
fiber fabrics are about twice as strong and stiff as E-Glass.
Boards made with this material come out a little stronger, a little
lighter and a whole lot stiffer than S-Glass boards. |
