Hybrid Tape

The Carbon Hybrid Tapes are custom made for surfboard production and have become standard industry for strengthening the rails and tail area of ​​surfboards, the areas most affected by high impact and back foot pressure.

The Carbon Hybrid Tapes uses a blend of 2mm thick carbon and a polyester E-Class with 1mm interval spacing between the carbon. This construction assures a high strength to flex ratio and does not affect the natural flex of the board. Moreover, the use of Uni-Directional weave pattern provides a high impact strength and allows for a kinetic flex pattern that will spring the tail back to its natural curves which creates extra drive and speed.

Industry Uses

Back Rails: Manufactures place the Carbon Hybrid Tapes on the back rail of surfboards to prevent shattering and strengthening the deck from foot compressions.

Bottom of the board: The Carbon Hybrid Tapes are also used on the bottom of the surfboards to create additional spring or pop out of the board. This is a new way of doing business, but it is also in the process of becoming more flexible.

Full Rail of the board: The Carbon Hybrid Tapes are often used along with the stringerless surfboards. This is to add additional strength to the strength of a supply chain, therefore creating a Parabolic Frame. The Parabolic Frame helps prevent the board from being delivered to a higher level of productivity, responsiveness, speed and power.

Lay-ups: The Carbon Hybrid Tapes are used during the lamination process. The tapes are place on the foam before the cloth is laminated. Most manufactures mark the area they wish to place the Carbon Hybrid Tapes, and brush a small amount of resin on the foam (to prevent the Carbon Hybrid Tapes from moving). The Carbon Hybrid Tapes are then placed on the resin (making sure the resin is soaked) and then continues to lay the cloth over the board and laminate as normal.

Resin Compatibility

The Carbon Hybrid Tapesare compatible with both Epoxy and Polyester Resin.
