Description

Drifter 6'8''

The Drifter redefines the recreational surf category with a stable, user-friendly design that’s fun for all skill levels. Confident and forgiving in all conditions, it still delivers speed and maneuverability when you need it. The tip-to-tail wood graphic with Hawaiian-influenced tribal bands has brought SIC Maui back to a timeless classic look inspired by the islands.

The rails start soft in the nose for forgiveness, transition to medium volume through the middle with a tucked bottom edge, and finish with sharp, performance-driven edges in the tail. Extra volume in the center deck adds stability and glide, while steeper rail angles maintain sensitivity and responsiveness when riding waves..

SIC Ace-Tec product is manufactured in France, which helps us maintain our constant drive for innovation and control the material we use. Ace-Tec Manufacturing is eco-friendly with low energy consumption, includes recycling all our manufacturing off-cuts, and has zero polluting/toxic emissions. Our EPS cores are also made on-site, ensuring zero waste. No auto-obsolesces in our products as we ensure tough, durable long-life equipment

SIC ACE-TEC and TOUGH-TEC products are proudly produced in Vannes (Brittany), France, at the forefront of eco-minded manufacturing. This strategy helps SIC ensure stringent quality control and sets us apart from other manufacturers who predominantly produce their goods in Asia.

Both ACE-TEC and TOUGH-TEC utilize thermo-formed skins, watertight EPS cores, and externally molded inserts. Both technologies use low energy consumption, no pollution, and resource conservation.

ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY MANUFACTURE

LOW ENERGY CONSUMPTION

  • Short production cycle

  • Short Infra-red heating cycle

  • Low electricity consumption


NO POLLUTION

  • Closed circuit cooling of the mould

  • No gas emissions

  • No solvents

RESSOURCE CONSERVATION

  • Rejection rate (less than 2.5/1000)

  • Surplus material systematically recycled

  • A capacity per mould 5 times greater than standart techniques


RECYCLABLE PART

  • Tough-Tec paddleboards can be entirely recycled at the end of their life cycle.

ACE-TEC technology consists of thermoforming ASA polymer sheets around a molded polystyrene watertight foam core covered in fiberglass layers. Cut-off waste during production is recycled back into the process.  The EVA deck pad ensures a comfortable feel. The external inserts are molded. No water will penetrate the hull. ACE-TEC technology offers an unrivaled strength-to-weight ratio.
