OUR TECHNOLOGY

Balsa Flex is SUNOVA’s original construction from our legendary founder, and pioneer of the parabolic rail - Bert Burger. It is our primary construction for all boards over 8’. Developed over the past 30 years and refined to provide the most unbelievable surfing experience, this technology is not one to look past if you are in the market for a Longboard. A lightweight EPS core is coupled with a ½” parabolic balsa rail that is then sandwiched between balsa skins top and bottom offering a product with unmatched spring and return. 

The bottom is a 1.5mm balsa/fiberglass sandwich that is not completely rigid. This softer area on the bottom cushions the ride of the board, making it amazingly unaffected by chatter, giving you a smooth ride even when conditions are bumpy and average. The deck is a 2mm balsa/fiberglass sandwich with mini I beams that connect the glass under the wood, with the glass over. This creates a very rigid strong sandwich structure that is incredibly resistant to compressions, creating a strong and responsive feeling underfoot. 

Finished off with solid balsa nose and tail blocks for additional resistance to dings, these boards look even better than they perform. Fitted with a self-regulating air vent that utilizes a slightly permeable Goretex membrane encased in a special aluminum vent designed and engineered by TBF, Balsaflex boards are functional and forward-thinking. Available in 6 layup types (Vapour Light, Team, Standard, Bullet Proof, Super Bullet Proof, Bomb Proof) there is literally something to suit everyone. 

Morphlex is SUNOVA’s premium performance construction. Developed over the last 5 years, from the ever persistent pursuit of perfect performance, It is our primary construction for all surfboards under 8’. Morphlex is designed to have more spring and return in shorter boards than its Balsa Flex predecessor, giving you a positive “more flexible” flex pattern as the board is loaded and unloaded through sections. “Morphing” and bending right into the pocket and rebounding predictably these boards fly out of sections with so much speed and life. A lightweight EPS core is coupled with a ½” parabolic balsa/composite rail that is then sandwiched between balsa skins top and bottom offering a product with unmatched spring and return.
