The surfers who made their dream surfboard with me at IKS testify to the perfect match between them and their surfboard. This strengthened my perception that every surfer has his own surfboard specially designed for him.
Just like the difference between going to buy a shirt at a brand store in the mall and going to a tailor who will take exact measurements, a suitable type of fabric and an exact cut and make a shirt that “fits you perfectly”.

PE TECH:
For those of us who do not connect with the new technologies and like the traditional feeling of a standard surfboard under the feet, the PE is for him, PE means polyurthane-epoxy, a technology that has been used since
From the first surfboard and proved herself.
In this technology, we use a polyurethane core which is considered to be the oldest foam in the industry with the familiar feeling, which we will see in epoxy glue (not to be confused with EPS) instead of polyester, which gives us the familiar and beloved feeling but with
The advantages of the epoxy: lighter, stronger, more resistant to cracks and greener for the environment.
*Highly recommended for experienced surfers/surfboards for high seas.
Stringerless:
With the introduction of the EPS (styrofoam) blocks to the market, there was an increase in surfboards without the core, when you remove the core from the surfboard you get the contrary to what you think, a surfboard that is just as strong (if not more) and much more flexible,
To be honest, up to a certain length the sternum has no structural importance at all and the very fact that we remove the sternum from the surfboard, we will get a much lighter shape and therefore we can strengthen it with more fiberglass, which would give us a stronger surfboard that is lighter and more flexible than the PE technology.
It should be noted that on high and strong days when the sea is rough, a surfboard that is heavier and less flexible is actually better, so the Stringerless will work less well than the PE.
Innegra:
The Innegra fabric is a special synthetic fabric, manufactured in the USA and it was a revolutionary new fabric in the field/industry of composite materials. This fabric is not carbon or fiberglass but a different plastic fiber. The Innegra fabric is much stronger than fiberglass and carbon and all this when it weighs exactly the same!
The Innegra is characterized by extremely high impact capabilities, which removes the threat of explosions and cracks on the surfboard almost completely.
In addition to Innegra, extremely high compression and tension capabilities guarantee us a surfboard that will require a lot of force in order to break.
The Innegra fabric can be combined with any customized surfboard.
*Highly recommended for Stringerless.
Bamboo Stringer:
For those of us who do like the EPS but prefer to minimize the feeling of flexibility, we suggest that a beautiful dark bamboo strip gave the surfboard a much more predictable strength and flexibility pattern than the Stringerless. We chose to use bamboo due to its being a particularly environmentally friendly wood and due to its being a very strong and flexible wood compared to the existing slats on the market.
A bamboo spine can be integrated into any custom EPS surfboard.
S-glass:
The S-glass is a fiberglass fabric with a denser fiber structure and more fibers per square meter.
The S-glass compared to the standard fabric in the industry (E-glass) is about 40% stronger in everything related to Impact & compression strengts or in our language, explosions and dents and all this at the same weight as the standard fabric.
The S-glass fabric can be integrated into any custom-made surfboard.
It is recommended mainly in the upper part of the surfboard, and especially in kitesurfers/wavesurfers for heavy surfers.
Carbon stripe:
A carbon strip along the length of the surfboard will strengthen your surfboard against breaking in half and will also make it have a more predictable flex pattern.
The carbon improves the tension strength in the surfboard and therefore will usually be placed at the bottom of the surfboard.
* Adds an aesthetic and special look
*Recommended for wave surfers without a spine/all types of kite surfers.
