E-Lite

The Watercooled E*Lite range is the most progressive and unique construction of its type in the market today. The  E*Lite ranges consist of computer shaped, hand crafted performance surfboards. Utilising a combination of expanded polystyrene foam (EPS) and transparent clear epoxy resins, E*Lite boards are lighter than most PU boards.  Two types of E*Lite boards are offered - Carbon Fibre Rail & HD Rail.

Carbon Fibre Railed boards use Watercooled's special biaxial constructed fibre cloth and feature a traditional central wooden stringer.

The biaxial cloths are of a superior construction that a general woven type cloth in that one layer is made up of two plies of a unidirectional cloth which oppose each other. The cloth threads, when applied to the board, set at 45 degrees to the board's centre line as opposed to a traditional woven cloth which sits vertically and horizontally to the centre line. This design tremendously improves the structural integrity of the board.

In a traditional woven cloth, much of the structure of the cloth is underperforming. It is not adding to the core nose to tail structural strength. The use of a biaxial cloth results in a structurally superior board that has a greatly improved strength to weight ratio. Further to this, the use of a biaxial fibre interacts and impacts on the torsion and flex characteristics, in tern, delivering greater response and ultimately a higher sense of performance.

 

HD Foam Railed boards feature a high density foam rail with two parabolic wooden stringers running down the rails offering different flex characteristics to other boards.
