The Slater Designs Great White surfboard is inspired by the shape of the great white shark. Kelly Slater designed the "Great White Twin" in I-Bolic technology with volcanic lamination alongside Bali-based shaper Mike Woo.
It is a high-performance groveler with the paddle and wave-catching ability of a hybrid, and the on-rail performance of a shortboard. It generates speed in small, less powerful waves, controls speed in powerful waves, and excels in tight turns, whether in the wave's pocket or on shoulder sections. Its volume is concealed at the center with fine rails for immediate responsiveness.
Volcanic Epoxy Construction:
The Volcanic construction uses extruded basalt fibers from crushed and melted volcanic rocks. These fibers have characteristics similar to carbon in terms of strength and weight but are more environmentally friendly as they are organically sourced. Basalt fiber is resistant to chemicals and is used in the manufacturing of surfboards, as well as in the aerospace industry for rockets and jet engines. It has higher resistance to high temperatures and greater elasticity than traditional carbon fiber.
