UBER DRIVER CARBON WRAP

"Uber" means excessive, beyond and above all. The new Uber Driver is just that. Excessive fun, beyond expectations and above all - a great surfboard for every day. It is designed to further combine the barriers between hybrids and Pro-Formance surfboards.

Fin setup: 3 Futures

The Uber Driver features the outline and rocker/concave from the back half of the DRIVERS currently surfed on small waves on tour by Kolohe Andino and Griffin Colapinto. It is then blended into a lower, wider, faster, more forgiving and playful nose. The tail features a low rocker with a curvilinear balance under the back foot, transitioning from a generous single/double concave through the front fins, to a noticeable V behind the rear fin and out the tail. The front rocker and nose have been imported from the Rocket series profiles and allow this board to be shorter, with more speed and more power and stability for everyday surfers. The outline and rocker are blended in a way that allows the board to still be surfed like a modern Pro-formance shortboard.

CARBON WRAP TECHNOLOGY

CARBON WRAP™ is a surfboard construction technology, designed to optimize flex and performance. Originally created by Gold Coast shaper Dan MacDonald, to make the board lighter without sacrificing strength and providing high-level performance. In Carbon Wrap, wooden stringers are eliminated, thus altering the traditional principles of flexibility. Ultra-light EPS blanks are wrapped in an exoskeleton of strategically placed carbon strips. Aligned under the nose, they progressively move towards the tail. This curvature creates a unique twist and flex that increases as it approaches the tail, just in front of the fins. At this point, the strips rise, wrapping the rails all the way to the deck. This unique method gives "vitality" to the board's flex, loading and releasing energy and thus increasing its speed and thrust. A carbon band in the middle of the deck helps to reduce pressure marks from the front foot, and provides flexibility that gradually fades at the tip and tail. The deck is then "boxed" with a layer of X-Glass cloth placed at 45 degrees, which dramatically contributes to the strength of the board without the risk of excessive rigidity.

CARBON WRAP™ Is a patented surfboard technology, structurally engineered for optimum flex and performance. Originally created by Gold Coast surfboard manufacturer, Dan MacDonald, to be light weight without sacrificing strength and provide #nextlevel performance. Carbon Wrap eliminates the standard wooden stringer, alters traditional flex principles and re-envisions the way a surfboard’s flex patterns are created and controlled. Ultra-light, EPS cores are “wrapped" in an exoskeleton of strategically positioned, carbon fiber bands. Aligned together at the nose, they gradually curve outward towards the rails. The curve creates and controls a unique torsional flex that livens up as it nears the tail, just in front of the fins. The carbon then "wraps” from the bottom, around the rails and onto the deck. This unique method creates Carbon Wrap’s lively flex that loads and releases...resulting in nextlevel speed and drive. Running along the rails, on the deck, the carbon acts as a rear foot power point, (increasing drive and control) and a patch to minimize pressure denting. Using optically brightened epoxy resin, the boards are encased with a proprietary composite of fiberglass and our exclusive carbon deck inlay, which is strategically positioned to add fast re-flex memory under the surfer’s stance and allow subtle, natural deck caving around the arch of the front foot. By tapering the carbon into long, pointed ends, forward and aft, the flex blends out naturally towards the nose and tail. A full layer of 45degree "X-Glass", encases the deck. The X-Glass's flat, bi-axel weave dramatically adds strength without rigidity, or excess weight and allows the board to maintain flex while alleviating crease points created by standard, 90degree fiberglass. The 45degree weave radiates foot pressure outward, directly connecting the foot to a longer section of the rail, adding greater edge control. CARBON WRAP TECHNOLOGY: Lightweight, without sacrificing strength. Increases drive and provides and unique and lightning fast re-flex effect, propelling your surfing into the #nextlevel of performance.
