If you are looking for a great shortboard surfboard This webber will blow you away. This surfboard is light and responsive and has an all new epoxy construction for 2008.
Greg Webber describes the 2008 shortboard model:
"The short board has medium rocker for a balance between drive and maneuverability, and a deep double concave for a balance between bite and forgiveness.
After 20 years of designing surfboards for professional surfers, I have refined the high performance short board to have as much speed and response as the best can handle, while adding a degree of forgiveness which is as necessary for the best as it is for the thousands of competent surfers out there.
The two concaves create the turbo like speed increase, with the vee acting like a silky smooth gear box, interlinking turns without conscious thought."
The 2008 Shortboard is made using a NEW SLX Technology
SLX = Super Lightweight Epoxy Construction.
Instead of using traditional polyurethane blanks, fiberglass and polyester resin we have used more modern materials to achieve the SLX technology.
We use a high density EPS – Expanded Poly Styrene core that is especially blown to our specifications to maximise strength but minimise weight.
We then glass the board using high grade fiberglass and even higher grade Epoxy resin. We use these materials to get a strong outer shell to the board. This combination allows for natural flex patterns in the board similar to a traditionally constructed board but with some reductions in the overall weight of the board. |
