EMPIRE Botha PP+ 3/2 Bodyboard

 Empire Bodyboards Andre Botha PP+ 3/2 

• 1.9 lb PP Ultra Kinetic Core™ (K19) delivers amazing projection and response as a result of high pressure cell-fusion created during the blank manufacturing process. 
• 3/2 = 5 Concave System-  3 Extra Deep Concave channels to optimize speed and control & 2 interior concave channels for maximum responsiveness and engagement on the wave face. Empire has worked tirelessly over the last few years to develop a functional channel system to perform in all conditions. Concaves One, Three, and Five all have increased depth, width, and length to serve as hulls to produce more hydrodynamic lift which results in maximum speed and drive. The two inner concaves are designed to optimize stabilization and engagement on the wave face to produce maximum hydrodynamic flow resulting in the most proficient channel system ever created by Empire.This unique channel system permits for a quick and responsive feel for line adjustments while trimming and driving down the line. This board is designed with two things in mind: Speed + Control.
• SURLYN® Slick  - Surlyn is a unique, rubber like combination of ethylene resins
•  and other copolymers invented and manufactured by the chemical geniuses at DuPont. Unlike rigid plastics, Surlyn has amazing flexural stiffness that allows a board to conform and contort to the curve of the wave when controlled by applied pressure from the rider. When the torque is released, the dynamic memory properties of the Surlyn deliver instant recoil, projecting the board onto the next section. Surlyn is so strong that it is used as the cover for golf balls due to its unique abilities to resist cutting and abrasions from golf club impact. Surlyn is the slick of choice for high end bodyboards.
• REACT MESH- Diamond shaped mesh weave fused between the boards core and slick bottom skin for enhanced stiffness and recoil. 
• 1X HIGH PERFORMANCE CFT STRINGER Sizes 39" & 40"
• 2X HIGH PERFORMANCE CFT STRINGERS 41" and up
• Empire Ergonomic Deck Contours
• Nose Bulbs
• CRESCENT TAIL- Classic 45 degree angle on a 385 degree radius cut. Loose and responsive, Crescent Tails are the preferred tail shape of the Pro Team's. CNC cut for maximum precision.
• XFL Crosslink Bumpers
• 55/45 Rails- A great all around design for most type of waves and riding styles. The rails are the side edges of the board. There are two parts, the rail which is the lower proportion of the edge and the chine which is the part that wraps around onto the deck.
