The E3-Lite glassing technology is an innovative construction technique that is taking
the surfing industry by storm. Developed by SharpEye, the company has
continuously sought new ways to improve the durability, strength, and overall
performance of their Epoxy boards.
This new technology boasts a core with a super tight cell structure, a stringerless
EPS blank, and a 4oz layer of fiberglass on the bottom. A custom Innegra/carbon
tape is placed directly over the foam on the bottom, running from the nose to the tail.
The carbon tape ends before the fins, while the Innegra continues until the end of the
tail. This unique design enables the tail section to flex and twist while maintaining the
integrity of the board. As a result, the E3-Lite construction allows for an explosive
recovery after high-speed tight turns.
The deck of the board is also layered with SharpEye's custom triple carbon tape,
placed strategically in the middle of the board. This allows the nose and tail to flex,
creating a "spring back" effect, leading to a super lively surfboard. To further increase
compression strength and hold everything in place, a layer of Bi-axle 4oz cloth is
added over the deck.
The E3-Lite glassing technology produces incredible results that are sure to impress
any surfer. With its superior strength, flexibility, and explosiveness, the E3 Lite
construction is set to revolutionize the way surfboards are made and ridden.
