NEW IN: Dragon 2, An High Tech All-round Fun Machine

posted on Wednesday, July 18, 2018

Ultra light, super fast, hyper responsive. All-in-one for WANTED Shapes new high tech model, the DRAGON 2.

This board has been specially developed in EPS/Epoxy with a few high tech inputs that further enhance its overall performance: vacuum glassing, Flowtech bottom and Xflex technology.

Let's break it down:

EPS FOAM LIGHTNESS & DURABILITY

A standard Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) blank. It is typically the lightest of foams used in surfboard construction resulting in a much lighter board translating into increased buoyancy and floatation. The advantage of better buoyancy is added paddling speed and increased manoeuvrability allowing you to ride a smaller board. EPS foam core is also known for it’s great durability. 

VACUUM GLASSING UNIFORMITY
The board is compressed inside a nylon bag filled with absorbent materials after being glassed manually using Epoxy resin. The pressure caused by the vacuum minimizes resin waste ensuring glassing optimization and uniformity translating into ultra lightness and the feeling of a more compact surfboard, therefore more responsive as a whole.

FLOWTECH BOTTOM SPEED & FLOW
Symmetrical irregularities are created on the board's bottom to reduce friction between the equipment and the wave's surface. This generates a thin layer of turbulent flow in the contact zone that allows the board to ride faster and looser.

XFLEX FLEX ASSIST
Six carbon strips are crossed and built-in the board's bottom connecting the left and right rail. This enhances flexibility allowing you to restore the trajectory faster and immediately set up for the next move.
