VS have been working on the shape and materials of this board over the last 12months with Aaron ‘Azza’ Glossop who had this to say.“‘The creation of the VS-DK model for me has been an epic experience, trialling shapes and specs until it ticked all the boxes. The board loves big steep take offs, gives plenty of control on rail from the bottom turn into snaps, carves and floats on the knee. I love having a board in the car that I can trust to do the job!”

BOARD TECHNOLOGY INDEX
Kinetic PP - Constructed from premium grade 1.9lb and 1.5lb density Polypropylene Kinetic Core delivers amazing projectin and response as high pressure cell-fusion created during the blanks manufacturing process.Kinetic Core ia a warm water core available in various reinforcements configurations, each tuned-in for specific wave conditions.
CFT Stringer - High grade lightweight filamentwound composite fibre tube for increased board strength and spring like recoil.
React Mesh - Diamond shaped mesh weave fused between the boards core and slick bottom skin for the enhanced stiffness and recoil
Surlyn Slick - Dupont Surlyn Slick is the finest grade bottom skin for a bodyboard because of its rubber like properties, superior recoil and resistance to scratching and wear and tear , hence the reason why Surlyn is the universal skin used for Golf Balls.
Wavecushion 8lb NXLPE - 8pcf non-crosslink Polyethylene outer skins. The premier skin for high performance bodyboarding.
Q12 - Higher density crosslinked PP Foam backing layer delivers more resilient nose and tail seam fusion and increase board strength.
XFL Armour - Heat laminated Crosslink foam forms the inner rails and nose tail armour encapsulating the full inner perimeter of the board for premium seam strength and impact protection.
CNC Precision Shaping - CAD designed templates precision cut with CNC shaping machines for superior accuracy and consistency.
Buzz Tech Lamination - Buzz Tech process hot air lamination system Thermo-fuses the outer skins to the core with calibrated pre and post set rocker tension for optimum board recoil and projection.
