The Peak of Carbon Fiber Performance with JS Surfboards’ Carbotune
The CarboTune Construction by JS Surfboards
JS Surfboards is at it again, announcing the release of a new carbon fiber-based board construction process. “Carbotune” promises to revolutionize the surfboard industry, providing the ideal weight/flex ratio of carbon fiber at an affordable price, combined with next-generation epoxy resin that is engineered to work specifically with carbon fiber.
The Carbotune process starts with a stringerless EPS blank, which is widely considered the industry standard for vacuum-laminated epoxy boards. Once shaped, the blanks are vacuum-bag laminated with specially designed sheets of carbon fiber that take into account specific angles and weight of the cloth fibers. The next-generation epoxy that JS has been refining is designed to work specifically with carbon fiber, providing maximum strength and durability, without compromising flex characteristics. The new, carbon fiber-specific epoxy also protects against UV rays, helping to prevent discoloration.
Finally, a clear automotive coat is applied to the boards to seal in the various layers and ensure the board is as watertight as possible.
The result is the highest-tech carbon fiber board construction process on the market—and one that comes in at a lower price point than other carbon fiber boards, due to JS’s in-house R&D process and specially engineered materials.
