I don’t see why a well made board with a carbon layup shouldn’t be strong as well. It’s no coincidence that carbon fibre is used pretty much everywhere that lightness and strength are a priority. Here is why. Strength, stiffness, toughness, are SEPERATE THINGS! They are not interchangeable, nor rel...

Just good timing (sometimes little luck) and choosing the right launch spot. On big wave days you need t...
