Why use fiberglass cloth to make surfboards

Excellent surfers can use surfboards to complete many amazing performances on the water. Those classic surfing actions are performed on huge waves. At this moment, both surfers and surfboards will be subjected to huge waves. If the surfboards hardness is not enough, it may lead to be broken.

Why choose fiberglass cloth?

Brush resin on the fiberglass cloth while making surfboards to achieve super high strength and maintain low density. Such surfboards are sufficiently hard and light enough to be used very conveniently. At present, more than 90% of surfboards on the market have glass fiber cloth, and very few of them are carbon fiber cloth.

Why choose fiberglass cloth instead of carbon fiber cloth?

Fiberglass cloth is woven from fiberglass yarn, fiberglass yarn is processed from minerals. It can be seen everywhere. The cost of manufacturing and processing is very cheap. Many countries in the world are processing and producing glass in batches, including daily glass, automotive glass, electronic glass, and basic industrial glass fiber yarn.

To compare with glass fiber cloth, the cost of obtaining carbon fiber exceeds that of glass fiber, and the difficulty of obtaining carbon fiber production also exceeds that of glass fiber. At present, carbon fiber is more used in aerospace and military industries.

From the perspective of economic benefits, the use of glass fiber cloth to make surfboards is cheaper than carbon fiber surfboards, and the strength of the two is not much different. Surfboards made of fiberglass cloth are sufficient for various special situations during surfing.

Therefore, the glass fiber cloth is the first choice for the manufacturers of surfboards in the market.
