New Carbonology Flash X Surfski Review by Dawn2Dusk

Описание: CARBONOLOGY seem to have settled in well to their new factory premises and have released their new ski for Elite paddlers - The Flash X.
Their focus for this ski has been on improved stability, comfort, whilst ensuring good speed for this ski as their initial model a few years back was too unstable for most paddlers.

The original Flash mold was totally scrapped and this new one was carefully developed over a lengthy period of time until Carbonology were finally satisfied that the Flash X would be a suitable rival for all other brands Elite level skis.

The Flash X is a full volume ski designed for paddlers 70kgs and bigger. It is completely re-constructed and the first models are currently being released. The ski is 6.3m in length and 42.5cm in width.


As with all the new X Models the following changes have been made:

lower humps with integrated water bottle holders for better leg drive and comfort;
footwells are also slightly wider and longer, giving better fit all round;
the back of the seats has a small cut away to release pressure on the paddlers backs with protruding bones;
leash plugs for leash attachment on the seat hump;
integrated bunghole made in the manufacturing process, not drilled afterwards. Equals less leaking.
integrated rubber tube mountains made in hull manufacturer with no drilling, much stronger and more accurate;
footwell bottom to hull clearance reduced to improve scupper mounting and seal the seating position heels lower;
improved tooling and joggle molds for improved joining, adding greater seam strength;
CNC cut internal stringers, improving fit and strength;
footplate, rudders, rudder caps etc have been strengthened and improved;
a one piece 2 mm dyneema line from the Tbar through pedals to ski attachment. \
Glass / Hybrid / Carbon / Honeycomb top deck / Carbon - full honeycomb / Clear carbon - cormate / Clear carbon - full honeycomb options are available.

There are many vinyl designs and colours to choose from. They are bold and vibrant. Please check out their facebook and instagram pages for options. Carbonology also offer covers to fit.
