Fig. 3: The resin infusion
Moore embrace the new
technology. Moore, currently number one in the
ASP rankings, actually won
this year's Vans US Open
of Surfing on a Hydroflex
board.
... & Technology
The latest improvements in
materials and lightweight
production processes in
combination with the
patented 3D-Glassing™
technology make composite
decks a game-changing alternative to the currently used
industry standard plywood.
The essential part of the
construction is the patented
3D-Glassing™ structure
which is based on biomimicry principles. It multiplies
the bonding surface and
strength between resin,
cloth and core. Fibres and
resin are inserted into the
foam, acting like the roots of
a tree. Both sides of the skatedecks are connected with
glass fibre strings strongly
bonding the two sides
through the core. As the tail
and the nose in skateboards
are often abused, the foam
in these areas is replaced
with a durable and resilient
plastic material. The rails
are reinforced with strong
and flexible cloth strings to
absorb shocks and impacts
(Figure 2).
The bond enables the construction to withstand the
compression and tensional
forces that a standard deck
undergoes. Pop and motion
are fully transferred through
the deck making them very
responsive. The bionic
construction prevents the
board from losing the flex
and snap over time. Also
because the boards are not
made from multiple layers
of wood just glued together,
they will not warp or delaminate over time and are
waterproof.
VARTM process
& materials
The use of top-notch materials guarantees the best
properties of the decks. The
honeycomb high-density
PET foam and fibre sheets
(non crimp fabric) are
placed into a mould and
infused with epoxy resin
through a VARTM (Vacuum
Assisted Resin Transfer
Moulding) manufacturing
process. The honeycomb
No85 November - December 2013
structure allows the resin to
distribute easily throughout
the whole deck (Figure 3).
The boards are then cured
and taken out of the mould.
Stiff, medium flex,
or flexible
The pop, spring, flex and
dampening can all be dialled
for the style of a deck being made and how it will
be skated. A cruiser - with
some flex and good pop - or
a super-stiff downhill racing
deck, all can be achieved
based on the amount of glass
fibre each model is made
with. Before the boards are
infused, the foam and fibre
are far more bendable than
wood. This enables board
designers to create any
imaginable shape and design
for their decks and push
the limits beyond existing
boundaries. n
