Resulted from 14 years of R&D by Hawaii's finest watermen operating in extreme North Shore conditions.
Bullet-nose allows 45° fish-tail pivot off jet-ski transom.
Highly maneuverable. Barely affects low-speed motoring while increasing overall stability of craft.
Replaceable nose-guard protects nose of sled and jet-ski transom from wear.
70/30 rails allow sufficient tracking for stability while still allowing driver to "break-loose" for quick turns.
Overall length sufficient for comfort & security yet short enough for maneuverability
Swallow-tail design allows for victim centering.
Design allows sled to be folded over jet-ski when not in use.

Proprietary weatherable copolymer.
Highly impact resistant.
Will not heat-warp in intense sun.
Extreme compressive strength (resistance to folding, creasing).
Flexibility even in freezing temperatures.
UV-stable (colorfast & weatherable).
Extreme abrasion resistance.
Easily mended.

Linear, low density, closed-cell Polyethylene foam reinforced with aluminum and stainless steel stringers.
Two 48" aluminum stringers and one 24" Stainless steel stringer assure tip-to-tail integrity, especially over transom fulcrum.
Compare this to "boogie-board material" boards.
Highly buoyant (over 450 lbs deadweight buoyancy) even in freshwater. (compare this to molded boards)
Not brittle in cold water, excellent for ice-rescue board.
Absorbs vibration while underway. (compare this to molded boards)

Abrasion resistant.
Tacky when wet.
Comfortable.
High visibility yellow.
UV-stable: colorfast & weatherable. |
Fiber-reinforced, tacky-when-wet. (Ten on LS1, twelve on LS2 - each 9.5")
Handles anchored internally - virgin hull. Compare with other sleds looped through the hull.
Flexible - allows victim to be hoisted over yet still firm enough to fence-in.
