Using the same carbon/S-glass hybrid as the BlackDart, DoubleDart boards offer carbon on both sides of the board—the deck and the bottom—for added strength, durability, and memory. Because carbon is stronger than fiberglass, this runs the risk of creating a board that is too rigid and doesn’t flex well, but to overcome that challenge

 

…Lost uses shorter cut laps and a 4-oz fiberglass wrap on the rails rather than extending the carbon all the way around. This provides torsional twist that replicates the feel of a traditional poly board, but with all of the added benefits of space-age carbon construction. In other words, you get a borderline bulletproof board that performs like your favorite magic board!
