		LEADER IN CLOSED CELL CUSTOM EPOXY SURFBOARDS FOR 20 YEARS     IN THE NEWS   North Shore Hawaii: March 2010: Bethany Hamilton entered this triple section barrel with a doggie door exit into the competition. It was so insane I felt compelled to give her an award . This epic barrel opens up possibilties for all women contenders in the 2010-2011 North Shore Big Wave Challenge. Bethany Hamilton was one of the first Pro surfers to test the new Merrick XTR 7 series, check the speed and her ability on the video. http://northshorebigwavechallenge.com/bethany-hamilton-recieves-epic-barrel-award/ Oceanside CA Feb 2010. NEW XTR 7 Series After 20 year working with Extruded Foam and epoxy resins, we announce an important step forward with the new XTR 7 series, (7.C & 7.0).The new foam is very light and durable and still 100% water proof. You can actually surf with just a shaped blank before glassing. It also includes a new non toxic and durable non yellowing epoxy resin. All XTR properties of the original formula will have now a surfboard that performs exactly the same as the 5 series with extra durability. WHY XTR 7 series? XTR always focus on performance, with the new foam we add an extra durability to the performance, the new XTR 7 series should last at least 50% more than any Poly (clark) or EPS. Also one of the limitations on the past was heat, this new foam is now more resistant to high temperatures up to 175'F from 145 'F from past 5 series, no more delaminations and no more worries with the same performance. All this new improved properties will allow us to give one year warranty on any yellowing or delamination issues from the past. Glassing is exactly the same......just more durable surfboard, and more responsive. 7.C = 5.C, glass with (4 oz bott. and double 4 oz on top). 7.0 = 5.0, glass with (5 oz bott. and double 4 oz on top). (All surfboards will now be made with the new improved materials).) Oceanside CA:, Nov 2009 After some research and comunicating with Pro surfers and surfers we realized that most surfers think EPS is closed cell foaam, like XTR Foam, Have a closer look under a digital microscope.......... EPS IS NOT XTR CLICK on the links below too watch video of cell structure.__ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eVIvy_-7oek XTR FOAM 100 % closed cell http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=elCGwFrIrD0 EPS FOAM Vancouver Island, Canada, October 31, 2009 Local Canadian wild card Peter Devries wins WQS "Cold water Classic Canada" on a XTR AKA surfboard, shaped by Jay Novack from San Diego CA. In an energy fueled final – both in the water and out – against World Tour surfer Jay Thompson in what was a fairytale ending to a week on the wild edges of Canada in Tofino on Vancouver Island. “I cannot believe this. It feels incredible. It’s crazy,” said Peter. “Just to have all these guys here and to come out on top it’s been such an incredible experience this week.” It was a story that could almost have been a Hollywood script. Local Tofino surfer, Peter Devries started the week as one of the Canadian wildcards in this 6 Star ASP WQS competition. He ended not only a hometown hero, but also now somewhat of a national hero. “It’s been an amazing week,” said Peter. “But tomorrow morning I will be up again early walking the dog with my girlfriend – it will be like any other day.” Thousands of people lined the beach to support Peter – as well as the rest of the surfers – for the final day of this competition – the first professional surf contest in Canada.http://www.coldwaterclassiccanada.com/ This another excelent result and keeps adding to the list of professional surfers winning contests with XTR surfboards.

The benefits are that this new material can provide an extreme performance surfboard and can still be custom made to any specifications up to 6'8" and with any design, improving the idea of a true custom board that will not only perform better, but also will last longer and have a unique look that is not available anywhere.
