Features

• KINETIC CORE™ 1.9lb PP ULTRA (K19) W/ Parabolic PFS-T - Kinetic Polypro Core is a state of the art engineered bodyboard core. A lightweight core that is fusion formed to create a nucleus that delivers incredible flexural properties, including instant recoil, added projection, enhanced longitudinal stiffness & awesome compression strength. This core is 100% waterproof.Constructed from premium grade 1.9lb density Polypropylene resins, Kinetic Core delivers amazing projection and response as a result of high pressure cell-fusion created during the blank manufacturing process. Kinetic Core is a warm water core available in various reinforcement configurations, each tuned-in for specific wave condition.

• PFS III- PARABOLIC FLEX SYSTEM™ 3RD GENERATION - Incorporating  he patented PFS™ technology the PFS-T features an angled beam setup. Running from the inside peg of the crescent tail, toed-in towards the nose, it made total sense to align the PFS beams directly in-line with the hip, elbow and hand, it allow's for greater loading of the beams during turns and therefore more recoil/ projection when pressure is released.

• Quad Concave Channels - The QuadConcave can be broken down into two parts:
  1. Central Double Concave - Tracks laminar (water) flow through the centre of the board keeping you higher on the wave face, which allows you to generate more speed into your bottom turns.
  2. Outer Venturi Channels - Draws the laminar flow from a wider entry point into a narrow exit through the tail. Based on Bernoulli’s principle, the laminar flow increases in speed as it progresses through the channel, giving you more drive.  
  The Quad Concave is precision shaped on our custom built AKU CNC shaping machine.
  The AKU gives us the ability to design progressive channel and concave set-ups with incredible accuracy and consistency previously not possible by hand shaping.

• Alpha Flex Stringerless Technology - 

  For over 30 years Mez has constantly refined his craft, and in the process, shifted the paradigm of high-performance bodyboard core construction. Building on that 30 years of knowledge, AlphaFlex represents NMD's next core evolution. By integrating the all new Kinetic Ultra 1.9lb, a higher flex modulus PP core, with our exclusive PFS-T technology, Mez has engineered a board without the need for a traditional tubular stringer. The end result is a ride that delivers a more direct torsional flex for incredible projection off the bottom and drive throughout hard carves. AlphaFlex is specifically designed for elite level riders who understand the intricacies between flex and speed. 

• BP Grip Tech Deck Skin - Thermoformed textured grips promote superior wax build up for enhanced hand traction.
• Surlyn Slick by DuPont -   Surlyn slick bottom skin is constructed from 1mm Dupont Surlyn backed with a composite layer of 1.5mm IXPE + 1.5mm IXPP for a total thickness of 4mm.
• Mesh Slick - Mesh is a wire-like plastic material that sits between the slick and the Core. It enhances projection and makes boards more durable. It also cushions the stress boards receive when landing aerial moves. Good to know, next time you get some air time.
• Crescent Tail
• Nose Bulbs
