The Enduring Strength of Hexaflex

A Fusion of Innovation and Performance

Enhanced Impact Resistance

The intricate structure of Hexaflex, characterized by its honeycomb-like pattern, effectively disperses impact forces. This minimizes the risk of cracks and dents, extending the lifespan of the board.

Superior Flexibility and Response

The strategic placement of flexible zones within the Hexaflex structure allows the board to bend and flex in response to wave forces. This optimized flexibility enhances the surfer's ability to maneuver and perform advanced maneuvers.

Resilience to Wear and Tear

The robust construction of Hexaflex ensures that the board can withstand the rigors of frequent use and exposure to harsh marine environments. This durability translates to long-lasting performance and reduced maintenance requirements.

ZSOLT LORINCZ

HEXA TEST PILOT

The best job in the world?
Based in Indonesia, Zsolt is our on-water R&D. He runs controlled A/B tests on prototypes focusing on flex profile (longitudinal + torsional stiffness), load/unload timing, and rebound speed under real wave pressure. He evaluates rail engagement and release, channel water-flow behavior (hold vs. release), and bottom contour efficiency for acceleration and projection. Feedback is logged on drive, transition smoothness, stability at speed, and control in chop, then we iterate construction (lamination schedule/layup) and shape (rails, tail, channels) until the response is repeatable and predictable.
