The 2010 SR105 Slalom board is a full Carbon, CNC Milled core with a full veed bottom with a slight double concave in the nose to mid section to aid turning and smooth the ride at full speed.
I have based the new designs on we have learnt from 21 years of boards design and building, with wide point forward of centre to add volume and surface area were you need it, to counter the reduced length . Reducing surface area as much as possible after this point towards the tail with it parallel rail planshape for greater control and speed both in gybing and topend.
The bottom shape is as clean as possible with NO cutouts ,wingers or double upwind rails, just a veed bottom that has it max vee and double concave depth just farward of centre .There is also a very small amount of flat panel vee out the tail to stop sideways slip at speed. It has a 700mm straight in the tail rocker with a 17 cm nose rocker for better nose clearace in chop so the board can be push harder in real world choppier condition.The rails are profiled fairly low at 25mm apex again for greater control in high speed turning without risk of rails planing out of the water in high speed gybes.
We have always used a 3 mm deck concave to stop the lift from air flowing across the deck and to also slighty lowers the mast base to lower the centre of effort on the board from the sail .It also stiffen the carbon deck with the concave as it acts like parabolic stringers that follow the planshape 122mm from the rail.
Construction is full Carbon/ Corecell both top and bottom lamination with no cheap water sucking wood veener . All cores are CNC milled and the boards are vacuum baged 5 times into our rocker moulds at each stage of construction to ensure that there is no flex or spring in that production stage . All resins and carbon cloth is both weighed and templets to ensure no extra weight is added to the construction. All carbon cloth is preplug off the boards on our lamination tables then tranfered to the board and vacuum down on to the Corecell with out blog, which add weigth and reduces the chemical bond between the lamintaion and the Corecell hard foam .
The boards are all painted with the best 2k PPG paints with extra layer sprayed on the rails to better protect them.

7-7.8m sails/36-40cm would be the sweet range of sail size and fins , we have also used 6.5 and 34cm.
Lend time will be 3 to 5 weeks with a week extra for shipping as there is a lot of work that is needed to going into each of them, to make sure that they are 100% right.
