Frequently Asked Questions about Hexaboards and the Hexaflex system
Hexaflex is an internal honeycomb structure that provides flexibility and strength, improving the board's performance and durability.
Hexaflex bodyboards are high-performance boards designed without the standard stringers. With an ergonomic design and quality materials, our bodyboards are ideal for both beginners and experienced surfers.
Hexaflex allows for greater speed, better control, greater “recoil” (return of the board to its original shape) and greater adaptation to different sea conditions.
Yes, the Hexaflex system contributes to greater board speed, which is ideal for faster, more dynamic manoeuvres.
They are produced in Broady Indonesia
The main difference lies in the Hexaflex system, which is exclusive to the brand. Hexaboards also stands out for its innovative design and focus on technology.
The production of bodyboards with Hexaflex technology requires a precise and sophisticated manufacturing process that relies on CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machines. This process transforms a block of PP foam into a technological masterpiece:
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.
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.
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.
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.
Hexaflex technology offers a multitude of benefits for bodyboarders, including enhanced performance, durability, and comfort. One of the most significant advantages of Hexaflex is its contribution to improved ergonomics, which can significantly reduce the risk of injuries and enhance overall riding experience.
The hexagonal structure promotes a more even distribution of the rider's weight across the board, reducing pressure on specific areas and mitigating the risk of repetitive strain injuries.
Hexaflex's flexibility allows the board to conform to the rider's body, encouraging a more natural and comfortable posture. This can help prevent back pain and other musculoskeletal issues.
The shock-absorbing properties of Hexaflex minimize the force exerted on joints when landing or making contact with the water, reducing wear and tear. By reducing stress on joints and promoting proper alignment, Hexaflex can help prevent common bodyboarding injuries such as tendonitis, bursitis, and shoulder injuries.
With reduced fatigue and discomfort, riders can enjoy longer and more enjoyable sessions on the water. A comfortable and ergonomic board can lead to improved performance as riders can focus more on their technique and maneuvers.
Fastest bodyboards performance starts with speed — from drop to trim, from cutback to final lip. A bodyboard isn’t just about shape — it’s about
At HexaBoards, we believe performance starts at the bottom of the board. That’s where hydrodynamic science meets the rider’s experience in the wave. Two of
