This year, we´ve done it!
We´ve broken all limits!
These boards come directly from the mind of our best riders, to the hands of our best engineers.
We have the most perfect machines that you can possibly imagine, so there is no wonder that our boards are very close to perfection.
We´ve made our personal goal to answer every need a bodyboarder has, and make our engineers answer them perfectly, creating the Respect 09 perfect boards.
Enjoy! I know we have.
INNOVATION is here
VFSS™
Variable Flex Stringer System enables a bodyboard to be calibrated precisely to its flexibility & stiffness characteristic. It consists of two grades each of tabular and tabular stringer configurations; in general, the tabular stringers provide more recoil than stiffness to a bodyboard; tubular stringers is other way around that more toward the stiffness than flexibility of board.
With the invention of VFSS, bodyboards could be dialed into almost any property of stiffness & flexibility strategically. This unprecedented benefit is largely enhance the handicap of conventional bodyboards; which the property of core seems to be the only factor that in effect to the performance of a board and this could become vital when climate and water temperature issues are involved.
Take a look to our available configurations:
1 Round Carbon Stringer
The most common configuration, providing more stiffness to the board
Featured on: Culture model
1 FLAT Type A™
This particular configuration provides more flexibility than most common single round carbon stringer configuration
Featured on: Evolution Series
2 FLAT Type B ™
Unlike the tubular stringer, the flat stringer gives a total recoil, snapping and popping character that tubular stringer can´t never achieve
Featured on: Signature Elite Series
1 FLAT Type S™
3 different grade/length flar stringers stacked one on top of each other. With the advantage of flex stringer at the top half of board but also provide good stiffness at the below half
Featured on: Art Handcrafted and Signature Comp Series
3 Variable Stringer System™
One round stringer at the center as a stiffener and two flat on each side to provide recoil
Featured on: Old School and Signature Pro series
EFC™
In combination with the 3 Variable Stringer System™, the Engineered Flexible Core™ is the perfect solution for both cold & warm watersm as it´s 1/2 in weight, 20 to 30% stiffer and souble recolil than the most popular "DOW" PE core
WBS™ & PE LASTOMER PADS™
Water Barrier Skin™ looks just like the sealder skin, but its cells are closed and 100% waterproof. In addition, with this skin there´s no need of wax, because its rugged surface makes it non slippery. The WBS is also available with the new PE Lastomer Pads™, which offer softer touch and better recoil than original pads.
SERIES
PRO SIGNATURE SERIES
With the PRO SIGNATURE SERIES you get our sponsored riders special touch and the revelation of their secrets yo success. By combining their technical knowledge to the excellence of materials, they make every board unique, as well as every model made with own feelings.
ART HANDCRAFTED SERIES
In the search for the perfect board, the ART HANDCRAFTED SERIES emerged - where the innovation blends with hightechnological development and where the board of the future becomes more and more a reality.
OLD SCHOOL SERIES
The old school feeling is back with the OLD SCHOOLSERIES, it's a return to the past accompanied of new technology where the classic lines become present and the full old school feeling is reinvented.
EVOLUTION SERIES
On the EVOLUTION SERIES it is assured high quality of materials at a low price. Evolution is now in everyone's hand.
BASE SERIES
Bodyboarding starts on the BASE SERIES. In this serie begginners get hold for the first time to a group of present materials and with unprecedented quality
