LET'S TALK TEC

For each of our disciplines Surf, Sup, Wind and Foil, the team at SUNOVA have developed and tested the most high performance and durable constructions for all conditions.

PARAFLEX is SUNOVA’s newest, most advanced performance surfboard construction, born from our relentless pursuit of perfect performance. Engineered for surfers who demand a more solid, connected feel underfoot without sacrificing any flex, Paraflex is a total game changer. These boards literally morph and bend right into the pocket of the wave, rebounding with predictable, explosive energy to launch you out of sections with mind blowing speed and life.

A lightweight EPS core is coupled with a ½” parabolic balsa rail that is then sandwiched between a paulownia and fiberglass matrix top and bottom, offering a product with unmatched reliability and feel. This creates a rigid 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.

Paraflex is the future of high-performance surfing. If you want a board that stores explosive energy, and rockets out of turns with unmatched predictability, this is your next ride.

BALSAFLEX is SUNOVA’s original construction from our legendary founder, and pioneer of the parabolic rail - Bert Burger. Refined through 30 years of relentless innovation, this isn't your normal surfboard construction. 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.

Balsaflex is the holy grail of surf engineering. It combines 30 years of evolution with an organic, chatter-free ride that makes every wave feel like the best one yet!

DEFTec is our newest performance surfboard technology, engineered for surfers who want zero compromises and maximum response. It was created with the same core values as all the other technologies in the SUNOVA range, but without the sandwich.

An extremely high density EPS core is completely encased in a medium gram fiberglass, then finished with an automotive UV clear to keep your board looking good for years to come.  

DEFTec is pure, unadulterated surfing performance. By stripping away the extras and maximizing core density, we’ve created a sleek, responsive speed machine that is built to rip and engineered to last.

TR3Tec is SUNOVA’s most popular surf SUP and foil technology. Born from the massive success of our ECOTec tech, TR3Tec was created to shatter expectations, combining sustainable innovation with relentless value, to deliver a premium ride that won't break the bank.

 A lightweight EPS core is coupled with a parabolic carbon fiber rail and sustainably sourced Paulownia wood making for a very aesthetically pleasing package. The wood is sandwiched top and bottom with fiberglass and bio epoxy resin, giving it good flex characteristics but making it extremely resistant to paddle marks or depressions. Finished off with natural colors and tones these boards look very sleek with an EVA deck pad that matches the overall theme.

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, TR3tec boards are suitable for all. 

Get ready to experience the ultimate fusion of high performance, rugged durability, and eco-conscious engineering.

ECOTec is SUNOVA’s most popular All-Round SUP technology. Engineered to deliver a perfect harmony of premium quality, jaw dropping aesthetics, and incredible value, ECOTec offers top tier technology at an accessible price point. Available in our most versatile shapes and sizes, this technology is built for riders who want ONE board that does it all. Designed to be ECO friendly by incorporating sustainably sourced Paulownia timber as a sandwich material and bio epoxy resin, whilst also being a strong durable product that will stand the test of time to reduce future waste. 

A lightweight EPS core coupled with sustainably sourced Paulownia wood, is sandwiched top and bottom with fiberglass and bio epoxy resin. Finished off with a very grippy EVA deck pad and ledge handle these boards are functional for all.

XXXTec is SUNOVA’s premium SUP technology. Evolved from our legendary BalsaFlex construction and tuned specifically for elite SUP performance, it is the pinnacle of this discipline. 

A lightweight EPS core is coupled with a parabolic carbon fiber rail that is then sandwiched between balsa skins top and bottom offering a product with unmatched performance and durability. 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 a premium 5 piece EVA deck pad with tail kick. All XXXtec boards over 10’ are fitted with a mini windsurfing mast track and have 4 x touring plugs installed, making them super versatile and perfect for the whole family. 

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, you can have peace of mind that your favorite ride will always be safe whilst traveling or in your car on summer days. 

If you demand the absolute best in speed, responsiveness, and elite craftsmanship, XXXTec is in a league of its own.
