Surfblanks super strong formula

General Discussion
1

Has anyone here tried the new foam ? Sounds like a big step up , I have 7 blanks coming this week not sure if they will be the new formula though.

Really keen to hear reports as to how it shapes and performance changes to finished boards.

 

SUPERSTRONG SUPERWHITE

June 1st, 2010

Surfblanks Superwhite foam has been upgraded to the new Superstrong Formula. Blanks made with this formula carry the stencilled Superstrong Formula label on the right side rail.

Six months of formula work have resulted in a foam with compression strength that may be twice that of any other foam available anywhere in the world.

As huge a claim as this appears, once trialled it is very clear that this foam has no equal.

Appearance - Very fine celled, matt white foam.

Strength - Extremely resistent to thumb test at relative density (other makes).

Benefits -

1 - Other than those that are obvious (above) this new foam has allowed the production of lighter blanks for normal use. So where as the Blue Superwhite was the shortboard standard, the Green Superstrong becomes the standard.

2 - Blue Superstrong becomes the standard for what was the Red Superwhite fish blanks. Red Superstrong would still be recommended for deep cuts into the Fat Fish blanks. 

3 - Blue Superstrong now becomes the longboard standard, replacing Red Superwhite.

4 - New Pink Superstrong is 8% lighter than Yellow Superstrong. Pink? Yes Surfblanks has been able to make a lighter blank

Midget,

Is your foam available in Southern California?

Dear Mick

 

I shall make sure you get at least one!

 

Would be cool if you drop Superstrong on this site?

 

Use Realsurf if necessary?

Dear Bill

Superstrong Superwhite is not available in So Cal other than by import from Australia, Durban or Recife - so  it’s too hard!

If I understand where you are coming from - you may be looking for older style longboard foam?

Andrew at SBUSA has 9 densities available - the Orange,Purple,Gold and Silver densities are fairly bullet proof - very fine cell - white with a very low yellow rate.

If you were a fan of Harold’s foam these densities are for you.

SBUSA - 760 721 5100

Aloha Midget, long time no see!

Is this “SuperStrong” foam available in Hawaii yet?  If not… when?

Midget,

Thank you for your response.   I was very much a fan of Walker foam.    I considered it superior to Clark foam.   I'm looking for small cell structure, with high crush resistance, with a relative light weight.    I've heard good things about your product, and the new Superstrong Superlight sounds great!   Wish I had access to it.    I've got a SBUSA blank on the way, expected this week, for a client board in Florida.   Thanks again.

Yes, long time, still here at the bottom of the world!

No Superstrong Superwhite in Hawaii until Tim Carroll (Sunset Beach) buys his annual 40 foot container.

Derek Young (SBUSA) Waipio. 808 676 5050 may be able to supply something you might like?

Regards

Midget

Thanks for the info.  I will check with Derek when I get a chance.  This new foam being discussed sounds interesting.  If some arrives in Hawaii can you let me know…  my email address is… bbarnfield@hawaii.rr.com

Andrew (SBUSA) is making his first Superstrong blanks as of the beginning of October.

If he makes what I have in my retained SBUSA samples here in Brookvale - you will have foam that is both light and strong.

ken to try one of these...heard good things about ones with the real thin stringers.....

…hello Midget, as you know, normally I buy your blanks from Fernando C.,

Im using the flexcells that are really cool, among others but what are exactly the superstrongs there in Recife?

 

thanks

Dear Reverb

Fernando is very individualistic with his labelling - same Surfblanks raw materials - but reworked menus to what he thinks is best.

Fernando pioneered the Yellow Foam physicals - then pushed me into the Pinks.

To make the Pink Foam work at such a low density - the molecular structure of Surfblanks’ polyalcohols required a step up!

Once achieved - the flow through from Pink to the other eight densities was a natural consequence.

Superwhite became Superstrong!

If it was possible with Superwhite - why shouldn’t SBUSA should get the same attention - it took a while but finally it happened.

SBUSA Superstrong was what my preceding post was about - I let vpravada know that Andrew was now producing.

Side note - Pink riders claim a higher float - should be interesting - will the Pink have the same inertia problems of EPS?
