| ALTERED SKATEBOARDS NOW AVAILABLE! | |
| These boards offer the best value in high performance, hands-free boards because they use sophisticated electronics and high quality parts throughout. The wireless feature makes the product extraordinary & it's now altering the future of all skateboards. These electric skateboards rank among some of the most sophisticated Personal Electric Vehicles ever made. All integral parts machined specifically for the board. No "adapted" parts found here. This is an extremely high-tech machine. The motor and radio control chips set these vehicles apart from any other personal electric vehicle. This is no ordinary electric vehicle, let alone skateboard. | |
| On most surfaces you can carve like you would on a snowboard, or slash and carve like you would on a surfboard. These are the most stable boards made! These boards are all operated by a close proximity, wireless controlled throttle and braking system. | |

So what's the fuss about XTR foam? Everyone is talking about this "new foam" these days and the impact it has on surfboard durability and water resistance ... XTR (or extruded foam) is a closed cell foam extruded at high speeds using expensive machinery. The main advantages are strength and imperviousness to water absorbtion. It is very resistant to impact and compression. One of the most significant and most misunderstood qualities of the close cell construction is that almost no water absorption occurs in open dings (less than 1%). This means that a surfboard with a ding will not gain weight or change color resulting in longer memory (resilience) of the materials. Also, the flex patterns of extruded foam when glassed properly can result in enormous advantage for a positive responsive surfboard. It generates more speed that any other surfboard construction!

| FIREWIRE TECHNOLOGY ... | |
Unlike regular Polyurethane cores, which weigh approximately 3lb per cubic foot, Firewire cores are built from 1lb EPS foam. Not only is this EPS material significantly lighter than regular PU, but 1lb EPS also flexes considerably more. In order to stabilize the flex of the 1lb core and to give it strength so that your foot does not go straight through it, we’ve add a 1/8” layer of extremely hi–density aerospace composite to both the top and bottom decks. This process is called sandwich construction and is exactly what the word implies; the internal EPS blank is sandwiched between the two layers of hi–density skin. Most surfboard design represents a trade off between rocker and planing speed. A heavier rocker allows for tighter turns but pushes water in the flats. Alternatively a flatter rocker is faster in the flats but does not turn as sharply. Because Firewire’s are actually creating rocker when you lean into a turn, the overall rocker can be slightly flatter, allowing for a faster board in the flats without sacrificing turning radius – the best of both worlds. |
