FLEX DRIFTER

5'5" - 8'4"

The flex drifter design is a unique but super simple build process that I invented where the board is unglassed but has a 2mm timber top sheet vacuum bagged to the deck which allows it to achieve incredible positive flex. This change in rocker and torsional flex as the board is surfed allows for way tighter lines up the face and into cutbacks. The release of stored kinetic energy out of turns is translated into awesome projection out of turns and down the line.
It's also an ecoboard of sorts as the flex drifter can be reshaped many times in its life and broken down and recycled once it's lifespan is up.

Materials:

Bryan uses Burford Blanks exclusively, Silmar Polyester resin, and top quality fibreglass including Volan and “S” cloth. This construction allows for a board which can last 20+ years if looked after properly. This is the recommended build, although EPS/Epoxy builds are possible if flotation is your primary concern.
