How Jordy Smith Generates Power In Smaller Waves

In case you hadn’t noticed, Jordy Smith’s a big guy. Unfortunately, what that means for his surfing is that he’s gotta work harder than your average surfer to get the same amount of power out of a ride. Fortunately, we have people out there doing research for a living around materials that can enhance the performance of wave riding equipment. Enter Flex-bar tech from Channel Islands, a stringerless design utilising carbon fibre to optimise flex and board response. Ideal for squeezing a little more out of the softer stuff, or getting a larger human up to speed quicker, exemplified above.
