Pyzel Electralite?
- Thread starter cjs2002

Electralite is just a cool sounding name we use for our way of building a stringerless, EPS/Epoxy board. Most shapers have their own version of this sort of build. By taking a wood stringer out of the equation you basically end up with one of the lightest surfboard builds available. We use carbon tape to add rigidity and minimize the buckle/break factor. Of course the glassing schedule (fancy way to say glassjob) also dictates the strength/weight ratio, so you can decide where you want that to land. I personally prefer the swing weight feeling of a board with a stringer, but many people love the ultra-light performance and look of this build

Our ElectraLite Epoxy Tech boards are built to replicate the ultra-lightweight feeling of a pro board but with a bit more strength and durability than an ultra-light PU. This makes ElectraLite boards an excellent choice for boards that are meant to be ridden in smaller, weaker waves. We use...

Since we build our boards in our own factories in different regions (they aren't mass produced in Thailand like some other brands), we use different versions of carbon that are available in those areas. It is hard to get the exact same materials world-wide, especially with Covid shipping issues, so there are minor differences in the constructions across the globe.Hey John,
