NMD BODYBOARDS Ben Player Quad Concave PFS-T Wi-Fly 2.0 Polypro Core – 2023/24 Model

NMD BODYBOARDS Ben Player Quantum Quad Concave PFS-T Wi-Fly 2.0 Deep V Tail Polypro Core – 2023/24 Model

3 x World Champion Ben Player has done everything the world of bodyboarding has to offer. He is constantly pushing the realms of what this sport is capable of achieving.
Ben has designed this board for those who want the very best board model with greater speed, recoil & projection key.
You can be sure you’re riding world champion stock when you pick up an with the BP stamp on it. Ben suggests you go a half size up in these boards as the length is taken at the tip of the V Tail, not the Rail like Crescent tails

This is what Ben has to say about his model:
“In surfing I am constantly trying to refine my surfing. Every wave I catch and every section that I hit has been an opportunity for betterment.
This season of NMD boards is a representation of this with and 25 years of refinement I have made the template that I think is the best that can be made.
It’s straight so it’s easy to gain and maintain speed and the cores are second to none for any condition.
These two factors combine to give you a versatile and elite wave riding vehicle that I am proud to put my name to.”

FEATURES:
CORE: Kinetic Polypro w/Parabolic Gen 3 PFS-T Core
Kinetic Polypro Core is a state of the art engineered bodyboard core. A lightweight core that is fusion formed to create a nucleus that delivers incredible flexural properties,
including instant recoil, added projection, enhanced longitudinal stiffness & awesome compression strength. This core is100% waterproof.Constructed from premium grade 1.9lb density Polypropylene resins, Kinetic Core delivers amazing projection and response as a result of high pressure cell-fusion created during the blank manufacturing process. Kinetic Core is a warm water core available in various reinforcement configurations, each tuned-in for specific wave condition.
PFS-T™ Incorporating the patented PFS™ technology the PFS-T features an angled beam setup. Running from the tip of the wi-fly tail, toed-in towards the nose, it made total sense to align the PFS beams directly in-line with the hip, elbow and hand, it allow’s for greater loading of the beams during turns and therefore more recoil/ projection when pressure is released.
CONCAVE:  Quad Concave
The Quad Concave can be broken down into two parts:
1. Central Double Concave – Tracks laminar (water) flow through the centre of the board keeping you higher on the wave face, which allows you to generate more speed into your bottom turns.
2. Outer Venturi Channels – Draws the laminar flow from a wider entry point into a narrow exit through the tail. Based on Bernoulli’s principle, the laminar flow increases in speed as it progresses through the channel, giving you more drive.  
The Quad Concave is precision shaped on our custom built AKU CNC shaping machine.
The AKU gives us the ability to design progressive channel and concave set-ups with incredible accuracy and consistency previously not possible by hand shaping.
STRINGER: CFT Stringer
High-grade, lightweight filament wound composite-fibre tube for increased board strength and spring-like recoil.
DECK: Wavecushion 8lb PE Deck with Q12 Backing
SLICK: Surlyn Slick. Surlyn slick bottom skin is constructed from 1mm Dupont Surlyn backed with a composite layer of 1.5mm IXPE + 1.5mm IXPP for a total thickness of 4mm.
REACT MESH: Diamond shaped slick mesh weave fused between the boards core and slick bottom skin for enhanced stiffness and recoil.
TAIL:  The WI-FLY tail is a progressive tail design incorporating the hydrodynamic flow from the Quad Concave for more positive traction during bottom turns and lip drives.  The aggressive Deep V tail’s slighly shorter rails & the angled point from the tip of the tail to rails allows for better release and works in conjunction with the Quad Concave to release in tight spins & pocket moves. In the testing phase it was found that the Deep V removed a lot of volume from the tail area, so to compensate for the reduced volume there is an added 1/2” to length without changing nose, wide-point and tail widths. So if you ride a 41.5” in crescent tail you will ride a 42” in the WiFly V2.
ADDITIONAL FEATURES: BP Signature Template, BP Griptech Deck Skin,  55/45 Double rails, XFL Nose & Tail Armour, Bull Grips, Hand Finished, CNC Shaped, Buzz Tech Lamination.
