Fiberglass has evolved too in clarity, its ability to resist the rigors of ultraviolet exposure, impact resistance, and how it manages energy in flex, recovery and ultimately fatigue.\n\n\n\nPolyester cores have also evolved.  We are now well past the what Clark Foam offered at their time of exit.  Cell structure has become noticeable finer, harder, yet more resilient, and possesses superior shaping qualities in how the foams react to planer cuts and power sanding.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn this brave new world, what was once considered the \"conventional\" surfboard building materials, can no longer be considered so \"conventional\".  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTaking a 2 lb. density core to new heights in its ability to resist the severe loading scenario even a 3 ft. wave exerts on its fulcrum is more remarkable than ever before.  The advent and use of new polyols from sustainable resources is also commendable.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAll hail the modern day surfboard and its ultimate journey into the future!"]], "columns": ["post_id", "thread_id", "thread_title", "post_number", "author_username", "post_date", "post_date_iso", "post_body"], "primary_keys": ["post_id"], "primary_key_values": ["158880"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.7281799989868887, "license": "Public Domain"}
