All of our boards are made with high quality solid EPS foam cores, 1/4” wood stringers, eco-friendly composite epoxy resins, and multiple fiberglass or wood veneer laminations. They are completely custom hand shaped, hand laminated, and hand finished. Vacuum bag technology is also utilized.

Paddle shafts are designed to be custom-cut for a personal fit. The correct length is very much determined by the use. All measurements are added to the individual paddleboarder’s overall height. Add 8”-10” if you are mainly paddling in flat water with some occasional mild surf use. Add up to 12” for racing and ocean touring. Add 6”-8” if you spend most of your time in high performance surf and have developed good paddle strength. Paddle length is a personal thing but from our experience the measurements above work best for MOST people. If unsure - start out longer - you can always shorten it (but never lengthen your paddle, again). A longer shaft puts less strain on your back (but may aggravate shoulder injuries). Most people start out spending more time on flat water, where a longer paddle works best.

All EPS boards contend a large percentage of air, (the EPS foam core consists of 98% air bubbles) confined within the sealed and water tight skin of the board. The volume of the "trapped" air increases considerably when exposed to higher temperatures and altitude changes, and may cause severe de-laminations or leaks. Consequently it is essential to allow the pressure (excess air) to escape by the use of an air vent. The black vent element (plastic bolt) must be very carefully installed as it is easily broken. It is tightened just slightly more than hand tight, just enough to compress the O-ring. This bolt head is designed in two separate parts: an upper half (cap) and a lower half. When installed properly, the lower half will be fixed and the upper half of the bolt head (cap) will be loose and be able to move slightly back and forth about an 1/8 of an inch by using your fingers. This is completely normal and should not be tightened any further. Do not wax over the vent. Keep wax away from the recessed area. Rinse the vent after use with fresh water using low pressure to remove any salt crystals, sand. etc from the recessed area. The vent element should be replaced every two years if constantly used, or if it is damaged in any way. Contact LPC for replacement elements. Venting the board will greatly reduce problems with EPS/hollow-core heat and altitude expansion, but it is not an immunization. Keep the board out of direct sun exposure, and use a reflective bag. Do not keep the board in a closed vehicle during high temperatures.
