Which industry classification does surfboards belong to, and how to distinguish the types of surfboa

Surfboard materials are divided into polyurethane and artificial resins. 1. Polyurethane blank is the core material of the surfboard industry since the 60s of the 20th century. It is possible to synthesize man-made resins and polyester resins into polyurethane.

It is generally accepted that this material is easier to shape because it has a smaller crystal structure, so it can be polished with fine sandpaper during the shaping process. Polyurethane materials have advantages and disadvantages. Originally, boardmakers and ronin liked polyurethane because of the responsiveness of surfboards made by the material and its strong bending properties.

A lot of surfboard artists love it because it's easy to whitewash or paint the surfboard art on this foam material before pressing the board. But one of the main limitations of PU (polyurethane) is its poor resilience. This means that the strong bending properties of your board will slowly fade over time, and eventually the board will lose its responsiveness.

On the other hand, this type of board absorbs water, which over time causes the foam to fade and then turn yellow. 2. Man-made resin surfboard foam refers to expanded polystyrene or polystyrene. After the closure of the main polystyrene surfboard foam business, the Clark Foam Factory developed in 2005 when the surfing community was in dire need of a foam core alternative to shape surfboards

Expanded polystyrene. Due to its favorable properties, expanded polystyrene has become very popular as an alternative foam. Polystyrene foam is a lightweight foam that is lighter than polyurethane foam, and it is also more buoyant than polyurethane.

In the final stage of shaping, epoxy resin is coated in polystyrene foam and a very lightweight, buoyant and stronger foam-core surfboard is completed. This advantage makes the surfboard less susceptible to damage or crash.

Outdoor sports, extreme sports, sports equipment.

Surfboard. There are many types, which are generally divided into folding, combined, and longboard.

Short board, gun version.

Flexboards, floating boards, paddle boards, etc.

Surfboards are generally made of fiberglass.

and carbon fiber materials, now high-end surfboards prefer carbon fiber materials.

Here's why: light weight. The weight of carbon fiber is a quarter of that of steel, lighter than fiberglass, ordinary fiberglass surfboards have about 15 kilograms, people naturally hope that the lighter the weight when they go to the beach to play, the better, carbon fiber surfboards are a good solution to this problem.

Strength. Carbon fiber is 4 times stronger than steel, and the impact of ocean waves is well known.

If the strength of the surfboard is too low, once the force is damaged, not only can not experience the fun of sports, but also seriously threaten people's personal safety.

Corrosion-resistant. In addition to oxygen and hydrogen, seawater also has chemical factors such as Cl, Na, Mg, S, CA, K, BR, etc., and is alkaline. If a surfboard is immersed in seawater for a long time, it will corrode beyond recognition.

Carbon fiber has stable chemical properties, acid and alkali resistance, corrosion resistance, aging resistance, and long service life.

Good balance. When surfing in the sea, your own handling skills are crucial, and the balance of the surfboard is also important. Carbon fiber has strong shock resistance and good balance, and people are not much different from standing on the ground.

Cleverly designed. Carbon fiber surfboards can be customized and can be designed into a variety of styles to meet the needs of different users. For example, folding, combined, longboard, short board, gun version, soft board, floating board, paddle board, etc. (Carbon fiber, glass fiber and other materials are available in our company**).

In terms of size, there are mainly paddle boards (over 10 feet), long boards (8 feet 6 or more), medium and long boards (7 feet - 8 feet 6), short boards (7 feet or less), according to each person's height and weight, wave conditions in various places, each person's skills, etc., choose different lengths of surfboards, Vitra has various sizes.

According to the material, inflatable board, FRP hard board, carbon fiber board, PUPE soft board, and other less common materials.

In terms of shape, that's a lot. There are pointed heads, round heads, round tails, flat tails, swallowtails, fish tails, pointed tails, etc.
