Great looking board. Love the orange. Is this similar to an 'NRG' core? I currently have 44" NRG boards and rate them very highly in our cold water. Looks ace.
@@AWSMEAD I talk about this in the video. I prefer more flex in my boards, so I like a lower-density PP. Or, maybe you're referring to the old "extruded" PP that was on all PP boards back in the early 2000s. Suppliers stopped making that product for the bodyboarding industry sometime around 2005, so hence the move to beaded PP.
Very enlightening. I have had PP boards in the past that are way too stiff for me. The NRG core is rigid enough for DK but plenty of flex for pulling up on the nose when prone. Cheers for the info
@@eBodyboardingcom I agree that 1.9 pcf is too stiff especially in colder waters. Yeah such a stiff board is marginally faster, but I find harder to control esp when drop kneeing. I like the flexy PP that were in Manta Boards in the 90s, which I think was extruded PP.
Good ,how much one bodyboard
The link is right there in the description as well as in the first few seconds of the video.

Yes, "NRG" is a marketing name for low density PP.
@eBodyboardingcom Cheers for the reply. How come the move away from standard PP?
