So faded...

This is a super custom Apex for our friend Noelle.
Complete with silver inlay lams, fusion 5-fin setup,
a bitchin' groovy blue airbrush fade! And of course,
a lifetime supply of GNAR,
as with every purchase of a Nirvana board!
Rip it up Noelle!

5'8" Apex hydro P/U epoxy/polyester hybrid

5'8" x 20" x 2 11/16"
Custom Apex model

So whats different about this board you ask?... first off, we started off with a stringerless P/U foam blank, laminated it with Epoxy using HYDROFLEX 3D Laminating technology, and then Hot coated with polyester resin...The results speak for themselves.

What you end up with is a strong, light and durable board, topped off with a responsive flex pattern that is quite amazing to ride! Slingshot bottom turns and intuitive power hacks that only an F1 driver could admire! My definition for this is equation is a combination of co-axial flex, (allowing the board to not be limited by a stringer running up the center) and strength to weight ratio, which allow you to focus and almost aim the energy being transferred through the tension of the board when pushed through a turn. All this combined is how the radial tuned flex gives the surfer a level of confidence, almost a stronger sence of feedback from the board...

As a bonus, because of the hybrid construction, the boards are repairable with epoxy OR polyester resins!... they're strong but they aren't invincible. Dings will happen, just not as often...




5-fin set up on this one...



Jimi is stoked!
