Choosing a Laminate Construction
Laminate Construction
Laminate construction refers to the layered materials used to build your wakesurf board.
Glass fiber is durable, flexible, and cost-effective—perfect for riders seeking balanced, all-around performance.
Carbon fiber is lighter and stiffer, delivering faster acceleration and precision—ideal for advanced riders chasing high performance.
Your choice comes down to priorities: choose glass fiber for flexibility and value, or carbon fiber for peak responsiveness and speed.
Board Care Tips
To keep your board in top condition, avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight as this can cause delamination and damage the materials. Store it in a cool, dry place to ensure longevity and performance.
