Main Materials

Folha Skimboards manufactures its various models with 2 main different types of main materials.

Cork especially developed by the company AMORIM for various identical applications as in the case of manufacturing kayaks, boats, etc. We use this ecological and innovative material in Skimkid (Color and Cork) models but also in Wave Cork and Prorider Cork models.

Structural Foam (Foam Core) polyvinyl with excellent quality of this famous Swiss brand. Also used in the manufacture of kayaks, wakeboards, surfboards kite surfing, windsurfing boards, etc. We use plates of different qualities and different densities of the various models that we have available and are manufactured with this material.

Coatings

As coating all types of Folha Skimboards are manufactured using polyester resin and fiberglass as happens in other types of boards such as the Surf.

We use standard fiberglass E-Glass but we have available in some models a better quality and with greater resistance called S-Glass. We also have available Carbon Fiber in some models making the board extremely resistant and more rigid but also considerably more expensive.

Innovations

What is SRR? It is an innovative system developed by Folha Skimboards to reinforce the entire rail area of ​​its boards, which is an area very prone to impacts. In this system, we use an extremely impact-resistant and practically unbreakable material. This innovative system is clearly visible in our CORK models as the top of these models is made with transparent resin. This system significantly increases the resistance and durability of our models. And we do this without increasing the price of our various models.
