Slaysh

The Grindwater 4'8 Slaysh is built for aggressive rail to rail carving, airs and 360's. The high performance Slaysh is the choice for riders who crave big wakes and incredible maneuverability. It has set the standard for how a surf style board should ride. The Slaysh now offers more versatility with a third fin box. Length: 4'8" Width: 19.5" Rider Weight: 50-185lbs Construction: Epoxy Finboxes: 3 Type: FCS Introduced only a couple of decades ago, epoxy resin is a relatively new trend in the surf industry. Traditionally, surfboards have been treated with polyester resin but many shapers are now turning to epoxy for its incredible strength and durability. Epoxy boards have been associated with names like Surftech, Boardworks, Firewire, and now Grindwater Sports. Epoxy surfboards typically use EPS or expanded polystyrene foam as their foam core. This foam is a lot less dense and therefore a lot lighter. Epoxy resin is stronger and more ding resistant than polyester resin. This extremely hard substance is much harder to damage than a polyurethane surfboard which is a huge benefit for beginners, those who are new at handling surfboards around the boat, and those who travel or carry their boards around a lot. Epoxy surfboards are also more environmentally friendly! Epoxy resins tend to be less harmful to the environment than the traditional resins manufactured from polyester. This makes the manufacturing process of an epoxy surfboard less toxic to the shaper as well as to the environment.
