WAI FIBERGLASS BOARDS
Fiberglass has been used in the construction of surfboards since the 1940s. This lightweight material allows adds good strength to the board. As such, it is also used in the construction of many stand up paddle boards for sale. Fiberglass stand up paddle boards offer better response and glide than plastic comparable boards. They are also easy to maneuver and control. Fiberglass paddle boards are often hand shaped to guarantee higher quality construction. Since fiberglass stand up paddle boards are highly shapeable, they can be easily customized to your specification.
The core material of a typical paddle board is foam. A stand up paddle board company may either use polystyrene, polyurethane or expanded polystyrene. Polyurethane foam is the most popular with shapers as it is light, soft and easy to shape. You can shave the corners with sand paper and not worry about tearing or breaking the whole structure.
The next step involves molding of the foam into a “blank”. The board is then strengthened by adding pieces of PVC known as stringers along the center. The company then hands the blank to shapers, who then shape, sand, and polish the board according to specifications. Finally, the board is laminated with several layers of fiberglass on top and bottom in order to preserve the board’s graphics.
When choosing a SUP board, it is important to consider weight and durability. Typically, fiberglass boards are the least dense and so offer the best float. Since they have greater buoyancy, paddling is smoother. When you are using short boards, riding a wave is easily managed. However, EPS boards are said to be less durable at times. A stand up paddle board company who offers fiberglass boards with an epoxy layer will make their boards last longer than traditional boards.
