LSD NOA // THE CHLORINE // Osseus Construction

Noa | CHLORINE

Noa’s brief was brief “Maybe a 5’10” and a 5’11”, that will do”

We got to work on the Chlorine model ready for the Stab High air comp in the deep south of Waco Texas.

He’d need to land big punts, have a lower nose entry for rapid speed and hold and just enough tail rocker to give pop and release.

We condensed Noa’s day to day 6’1” down to a 5’10” adding 1/4”  of width as well as pushing out the nose and tail area to keep the outline drivey when on rail. Single concave throughout for lift and more speed, with a sniff of double concave around the fin cluster.
We pumped in some extra thickness at the chest area, keeping the deck fairly rolled to avoid a chunky rail.

Noa has been loving the Chlorine in the ocean as well, especially when the waves are on the weaker side.

Construction:

LSD's new Osseus construction was developed to withstand some serious abuse. It has been specially designed to handle thick slabs or big punts without losing versatility or performance. 

The high quality EPS blank is closed cell with a traditional laminated timber stringer for both board feel and durability. We added a 65mm band of Innegra that is set into the bottom running parallel along the stringer creating a sprung reinforcement. Innegra has great torsional strength and dampening properties that help to tame the jumpiness of the EPS foam. We have also designed custom stomp pads using Innegra with carbon in key compression zones for added durability.

The board is then laminated with 4 oz fibreglass using epoxy resin with an additional biaxial fibreglass inlay on the deck, again increasing compression and tension strength.

“The LSD team has been blown away by the board’s durability, performance and feel in the water."
