Surfboards new TeXtreme® application
Hydroflex surfboards based in California, USA, have released a new series of surfboards featuring TeXtreme® Spread Tow carbon fabrics. TeXtreme® has been used in kitesurfing and windsurfing for a long time, and now enters the surf (wave) sector as well.
The models are premium variants of Hydroflex new Tech Series line of full carbon fiber boards. The TeXtreme® board will be priced at about 1500$ and custom made upon order.

About Hydroflex
Hydroflex Technology LLC is a custom surfboard manufacturer with 25 years of experience in flexible board constructions. After years of research, the surfer and shaper Bufo developed the patented 3-dimensional glassing technique together with a team of surfers, shapers and space technology engineers. Bufo had the structure of plants in mind, when he engineered this very unique technology back in Germany. He then moved in 2009 to Oceanside, to share with surfers and shapers. Today the creation of every Hydroflex construction replaces the conventional two-dimensional adhesion surface with a 3-dimensional bonding structure, resulting in a design aimed towards high performance surfing.
