Default Hard Core !

Another Bro is formed !

What makes it possible for myself to enjoy most every session and push the limits to whatever the surf offers, is the confidence I have in Bro's ( the surfer dude) ability to withstand most every wave it faces - whether it's pulling a huge air !...taking a big wipe out - crashing on the shore, in a dumping shore break - or - punching through a fat lip at big speed, pulling a Rodeo flip - Bro has proven over and over that it is up to the task...

What sets Bro apart from the traditional rc surfer dude construction ( foam core) is the 3D silhouette Moulded Flexible Core -MFC- made up of several layers of woven cloth reinforced with uni directional carbon fibre layers, in specific areas - post cured with epoxy resin. FLEXIBILITY is all important when 'impact' is part of the equation.
I have even noticed , when closely watching the surf videos - that when landing from a jump or move - Bro can be seen flexing - i.e. absorbing the landing inertia that could otherwise have pulled it over...





Bro's head is moulded using polyester gel for the face detail
and polyurethane\2 part - high density closed cell foam for the
bulk of the head. Making it very light and durable and buoyant.
The production is consistent and the head is very easily replaced
if ever damaged beyond repair.
