STEALTH BODYBOARDS Tour Tension Tech PE Core 2022/23 Model

The Tour is a great all-round template that will provide you with a consistent feel across the whole range. Whether you are surfing punchy reef breaks, hollow barreling waves or a summer rip bowl the Tour will serve you well.

Designed to be your stock board, and the board you get for a trip away, the three constructions of the Tour are all shaped in the same way, but use different construction compounds to better suit them to specific water conditions. Perhaps you live in cold waters so you want the ‘PE Tension-Tech’ construction for your everyday riding. 

The PE core is a favourite among those who like some extra flex in their board and is also great for cold waters when you want extra flex in the board right away … meaning it will feel ‘broken. In’ almost right away! Tension Tech is a construction that has become a recent favourite which is a top mesh sandwich layer between a layer of PP core and in this case ‘Ethafoam’ PE. We have used graduated channels and a crescent tail as well as some slick grips on the nose to round out the board.

TECHNOLOGY: Tension Tech is a top mesh sub sandwich layer. It consists of a sheet of mesh sandwiched in between the two layers of 1.5mm IXLPP (crosslink polypropylene). This allows us to produce a high end PE Core without sacrificing strength, resulting in an incredibly strong board with excellent recoil. Combined with PE this provides old school flex right out plastic without compromising the longevity of the deck & core.   Stealth have been using this technology mainly with PE and NRG boards, allowing us to get the best properties from both the PP substrate, and the softer NRG or PE core.
