plus one tech specs

We are dedicated to using technology to more efficiently and accurately evolve our design concepts. Our factory is equipped with a CNC shaping machine featuring Shape 3d design software that was developed in France. Shape 3d is by far the most robust surfboard design software on the market today. Years of practice with this softw are and decades of hand-shaping experience allow us to exploit the high resolution design features and explore more refined design concepts than ever before. The use of this technology has allowed us to more accurately optimize the relationship between the 4 major design variables in a surfboard: rocker, outline, foil, and bottom contour.

 

 

What Does this mean to YOU?

We have an electronic file for every customer and every board produced in our facility for half a decade.  Therefore the progression of a particular design for an individual customer is much more concrete.  Once we have designed a board for you, the next board you get in that style will be based upon the previous model.

If the board has a good feel and you want to lengthen, shorten, widen, thicken, we can do so without changing, what we call the “DNA” of the board.  The result will be a quiver of boards that will accommodate a wide range of conditions but have a “familiar” feel about them.  So if the surf jumps up from waist high to double-overhead on you next trip you can pull out your step-up board and be confident it will have that “familiar” feel. 

At the same time, if you feel the initial board needs some tweaks to suit you, we have a starting point to work from.  Based on your feedback it is easy for us to assess and make an accurate design change to suit your needs, rather than trying to start from scratch again.

Using Shape3d as a design tool has also allowed us to play with volume more accurately as well. Once we find a particular volume that you are comfortable with we can easily include that in all your subsequent boards.  It may in fact change your mind completely about what your next shape should look like…you are going to have to contact us, or your local Plus One Dealer to find out the details on that one!!!
