  BODYBOARD CORE TECHNOLOGY
Technology F6 Lrg
FREEDOM 6
BPP or beaded polypropylene cores have become the industries standard for high performance riding due to the chemical balance that produces the relative memory of compression and ability to withstand repetitive impacts.
Creating a core more resilient to fractures of cells has been BPP's successor in our newly developed FREEDOM6 core. Whilst containing many of the original attributes of the BPP core with refinements, the FREEDOM6 has revolutionised the integrity of cell manipulation through increased density in the nucleus of each cell molecule.
The basis of Turbo's latest innovation in core technology is consistent with the principles in the 6 degrees of freedom. Allowing independent movements under strain as pressure is applied, generating flex through the internal fibre wall that connects, and holds the stored energy to displace through the entire core when impact pressure activates the refraction of pressure in the cells. FREEDOM6 creates effortless flexibility through rail to rail surfing at high speed, giving the rider greater confidence that the bodyboard under them will allow for freedom to turn and hold tighter lines for longer, more powerful carving manoeuvres. This lightweight core revolution also allows the rider to hit sections harder and faster, maximising body positioning and extension of the rider for more fluent aerial manoeuvres.
6 Degrees of Freedom has been the inspiration behind creating a product with controlled, precise flex properties.

PARADOX CELL
PARADOX is a beaded cell core structure designed to allow for an even flow of energy created by the reduced density of each cell molecule. The highly advanced technology of the PARADOXCELL structure also provides a greater memory percentage to that of other comparable cores on the market.
PARADOXCELL is produced through expanded foam, fused together through a combination of high temperatures and pressure. This creates the required density during fusion forming to maximise the performance of the foam under immense pressure, while creating the perfect amount of recoil required to retain and control the speed generated by the cores inter-connected cell structure.
With Turbo's technology we are able to create intricate stringer combinations by using our advanced PSI technology to allow our PARADOXCELL models to perform at any location on the planet without compromising the core itself. Utilising the PSI technology, Turbo have created the ultimate bodyboard core. The tri stringer system creates a durable, lightweight core with superior memory, flex, recoil and projection properties.

Technology Psi Lrg
PSI
PSI is the next generation of stringer insertion techniques created at the beginning stages of the cores construction. The stringers are suspended in precise alignment within each core as fusion takes place, eliminating systematic error. Suspended stringer insertion has the edge over other manufacturing techniques. PSI has allowed for accurate core mapping for Turbo's technical team to calibrate stringer combinations to suit water surface conditions to maximise levels of performance surfing.

Technology ESPCORE Lrg
EPS CORE
EPS (expanded polystyrene) is a rigid cellular plastic foam material derived from petroleum and natural gas byproducts. The beads of resin are subjected to steam, which causes the thermoplastic polystyrene to soften and expand up to 40 times its original volume. These beads are then blown into a mould using steam, which forms the core of the bodyboard.

Technology PECORE Lrg
PE CORE
PE foam is closed cell foam made from Polyethylene and blended copolymers. It has a high level of chemical cross linking. The result is semi-rigid core material with a fine uniform cell structure that is suitable for use in a wide variety of wave conditions. PE cores have been used to make boards since the evolution of bodyboarding. Still a favourite of many top line pro riders. The core gives supple flex with excellent recoil.

Technology SPER Lrg
SPER CORE
SPER stands for "super re-enforced PE". The core features a layer of polymer skin inside the board, this polymer layer functions as a pressure barrier, it blocks impact to the board through the skin; the unique physical character of the SPER core is that the polymer skin adds stiffness and strength to the board which eliminates the need for a stinger.
