Description

Tao Surf 11'6'' x 31.5''

The TAO Surf series is inspired by traditional surf design. The full nose and rounded pintail help you drop into waves and then carve down the line with ease. The generous widths make the board stable, which comes in handy when punching through the shore break or standing out in the lineup. The Tao Surf is also a beautiful cruising board with a moderate rocker line that tracks and glides nicely through the water.

It can accommodate multiple fin configurations (single fin or thruster setup). The overall volume is designed to suit the whole family.

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.
