BULLET SIGNATURE Template
The Bullet Template features a little bit of extra width compared to our Pro Boards. It provides a little more float and is best suited (although not limited to) small- medium sized waves.
KINETIC PP CORE (1.9lb)
A lightweight core that is fusion formed, delivering incredible flex properties, including instant recoil, enhanced longitudinal stiffness and awesome compression strength. It is also 100% Waterproof, ensuring it stays nice and light throughout your boards life. Ideal for anyone in mid to warm climates, and extremely durable for those who surf a lot!
STRINGER & MESH
The PP/ Stringer / Mesh combo is the most common construction style used by our team riders. These work together to provide stiffness & recoil both longitudinally and laterally, whilst also increasing durability.
SURLYN SLICK
The slick Pro Bodyboarders demand ! Finest grade authentic Dupont Surlyn™ slick skin. Surlyn™ exhibits rubber-like properties for superior projection. It is designed so as that it has minimal impact on the flex properties of the core.
PE DeckSKIN
The preferred Deck Skin of our Pro Riders as it has less effect on natural flex of the core. Also provides a little more grip than IXL Deckskin.
BAT TAIL
The bat tail increases overall surface area and lifts the riders body out of the water a little more, reducing drag.
This equates to easier planing, faster speeds and and an overall loose ride.
TRANSITIONAL HULL CHANNELS
These channels are constructed using an AKU Shaper Machine. This is the same machine used to create subtle concaves on surfboards, allowing millimetre perfect results.
These are almost double the length of traditional channels, but extremely gradual. This allows water to enter and exit the channel with minimal disturbance creating greater top-end speed, but hold when you need it!
55/45 DOUBLE RAILS
The two IXLPE Rails provide extra strength, the 55/45 Rail shape allows a touch more rail to be in the water, allowing for greater control.
DECK & NOSE BULBS
Deck & Slick side bulbs on the nose of the board to provide extra grip in critical situations.
Suggested Sizing
As a general guide, a bodyboard should go to the rider's belly button. apart from that, there are no hard and fast rules when it comes to choosing the correct size board. Generally bigger boards are faster, but not as easy to control, and generally suited to smaller waves and beginners. On the other hand smaller boards are a bit harder to generate speed, however, have greater control and are ideal for bigger waves and more advanced riders.
As a guide, please refer to the table below. If you're a beginner, you are probably best suited to a size in which you fall in the lower end of the weight range. ie. 40kg beginner woudl be best suited to 38", not 36".
Board Size | Weight Range |
34" | <30kg |
36" | 25-40kg |
38" | 35-50kg |
40" | 45-75kg |
42" | 65-95kg |
44" | 80-105kg |
