Herbie CF Balsa Flex - Single Fin

This board is an exact replica of Herbie Fletcher’s favourite board from his quiver. A traditional, yet nimble and responsive board, the Herbie will have you cruising on almost anything.

Dimensions: 9’1 x 24” x 3 3/16” Volume: 78.0 ltr Balsa Flex is SUNOVA’s original construction from our legendary founder, and pioneer of the parabolic rail - Bert Burger. It is our primary construction for all boards over 8’. Developed over the past 30 years and refined to provide the most unbelievable surfing experience, this technology is not one to look past if you are in the market for a Longboard. A lightweight EPS core is coupled with a ½” parabolic balsa rail that is then sandwiched between balsa skins top and bottom offering a product with unmatched spring and return.

The bottom is a 1.5mm balsa/fiberglass sandwich that is not completely rigid. This softer area on the bottom cushions the ride of the board, making it amazingly unaffected by chatter, giving you a smooth ride even when conditions are bumpy and average. The deck is a 2mm balsa/fiberglass sandwich with mini I beams that connect the glass under the wood, with the glass over. This creates a very rigid strong sandwich structure that is incredibly resistant to compressions, creating a strong and responsive feeling underfoot.

Finished off with solid balsa nose and tail blocks for additional resistance to dings, these boards look even better than they perform. Fitted with a self-regulating air vent that utilizes a slightly permeable Goretex membrane encased in a special aluminum vent designed and engineered by TBF, Balsaflex boards are functional and forward-thinking. Available in 6 layup types (Vapour Light, Team, Standard, Bullet Proof, Super Bullet Proof, Bomb Proof) there is literally something to suit everyone.
