F-One Bamboo Kitesurf Board (6ft)
F-One Bamboo Kitesurf Board (6ft) !! SRP: £ OUR PRICE: £!! A kite board sustains more constraints than a standard surf board. It endures more pressure mainly in the upwind stage, in the chops and during jumps. A sandwich construction is required to have a product adapted to our sport. Loyal to wood, which is the core of our twin-tip boards, F.One chose bamboo for their kiteboards. The result is a light structure, super strong which absorbs the constraints.The extremely dense cellular structure of the bamboo surpasses the one of the oak in stability and elasticity. Bamboo is superior to wood in terms of durability and rigidity. This mighty grass is extremely solid due to high elasticity fibers lined up to the cane on the outer layer of the peel. In traction’s resistance, bamboo fibers match up the ones of trees and constructions steel. The use of bamboo is also environmentally responsible. It benefits from an astonishing growth rate: the “giant bamboo” will grow 30 to 50cm per day to reach 15 to 30 metres. Every year the “mother plant” generates several shoots. In a full grown “forest” the shoots can therefore be harvested after 5 years without reducing the size of the forest.
