a rundown of materials being used by the majority, and my understanding.
plywood-roughly half of the wood is horizontal, the other half is vertical, 50% is supplying your flex, the other half is your lateral support. it will pump, but a good one??? i ride better.
fiberglass, glue, epoxy, carbon fiber, dupont specials, all chemicals and garbage fibers, i have rode the loaded boards, felt like a switch, soft soft soft then pop right up, Not linear in rebound. Compared to? i ride better.
a pumper takes a lot of abuse , a tremendous amount of energy is soaked up then released, all day long if its a good day. i have read threads of the loaded boards cracking near the trucks(dervish). Fiberglass is for insulation and old race cars.
so how can you "ride better", drop me a line, telling me length and width, wheelbase, you are looking for and your weight. I will take care of the rest!
Bonchi Mfg. is a nitch longboard company, the materials used are raw, this is the "organic board". I have been designing longboards with my unique vision for nearly five years. thank you for you time, and tomorrow i'll post a picture of what a bonchi board is.
