Using moulded cores allows for a tougher core and ensures all boards are consistently high quality with no imperfections.

Each Softlite is encapsulated in a 10lb PE Deck skin for extra strength, durability and traction.

Tail Buffers
We use an extra layer of PE for increased impact absorption in heavy use areas.
