A weapon to help surfers in thier battle the waves [ AQUANOID ]

The basic concept of the AQUANOID has its origins with surfers dissatisfaction with conventional surfboardsrough FRP bottom surface.To solve this problem,AQUANOID was developed with a special film which surface friction coefficient is a magnitude lower than that of the traditional FRP surface.When placed on the tail bottom of a surfboard where the board is in contact with water the most, it has been shown that speed, and overall performance were increased.in addition,the surfer is now able to fight theresistance of the wave more eassily, and now with the AQUANOID a weapon has been developed.

Material of AQUANOID

The cross section of the special film is only 0.18mm thick. The structure has been precision laminated in order to have a film that is smooth.slippery, and thin, yet at the same time be strong. In addition, a unique system prevents the formation of air bubbles when the film is applied,thus making the mounting of the AQUANOID much easier.

Surprisingly high water-repelling performance

The special surface of the AQUANOID has a unique technology, which improves water repellency. Water is quickly pushed along the surface and dose not remain in one spot even in the smallest amount.

Novel design, testing and manufacturing technology

All design of the AQUANOID are put through a variety of simulations to test. After this initial simulation stage, local amateur and professional surfers, including WCT riders, test each product. Once models have gone through this testing, only then does mass production start. Production is all based in Japan were quality can be controlled, monitored, and maintained at the highest levels. The AQUANOID produced with thought out design, strict testing, and manufacturing top level technology so it will have "fighting capability" which gives the surfer the sensation they are "running on waves," which exceeds the conventional concept of surfing being only "riding on waves."
