🔧 Key Technologies

• Patented Airline Technology
  An aramid (Kevlar-style) cable runs beneath the hull, anchored at the nose and fin box. As you inflate, the tensioned cable reduces flex—about 1.8 cm less deflection—creating a solid, hard-board feel on the water.

• Welded Rail & Fusion Woven Dropstitch
  The rails are heat-welded for airtight strength, while woven drop-stitch construction keeps the board lightweight and stiff .

• Carbon Stringers
  A carbon stringer under the hull complements the Airline cable, boosting rigidity and responsiveness. Twin carbon stringers on the deck add further structural integrity
