MANUFACTURING PROCESS OF SURFBOARD

1. Material: Polystyrene foam core.


Pour liquid polyurethane into a mold containing
the foam core under high pressure and heat.

2. Insertion of wooden stringers, depending


on the board's length and intended use. Glue
the two halves of the blank together.

3. Tracing and
Cutting

4. Surface
Preparation
Modern CNC machine
5. Positioning Plugs https://cntmotion.com/solutions

Cost : 71.000EUR
SPECIAL SURFING (Market Study)
• Board price: 600 euros.
• Winter Needs: 640 No.
• Summer: 700 No. (9% ↑)
• Wholesalers: 100 /year

Santa Beach • For next year, a 35% growth is expected in both seasons. In the year after, the growth will probably
market weaken slightly. However, a growth of 18% is expected here.
Prediction • Highest Summer sales: April & September
Wholesalers • Buy products in larger quantities and sell them under a different brand name on neighbouring
buyers islands.
• Increase in domestic sales and development of additional sales potentials. Wholesaler takes over the
sales and the marketing completely so that there are no further costs for the surfboard manufacturers

Consumer • Surfboard buyers research and compare surfboards online, they only buy their boards from online
purchasing retailers in the region. They usually know the manufacturers personally.
behavior • Location within the region doesn’t affect the purchasing behavior. Thus, it does not matter how far
the production site is from the beach.
Potential market entrants High Sales

Medium Sales
• Consumers want to have more choices.
• This refers, to the number of surfboard production. Low Sales

• Individual design possibilities for the boards

PRO SURF
DESIGN OF SURFBOARD
Boards are travelled across the waves rather than along the face

SPEED:
Where and How?
Where: Gravity & Thrust force (3rd Law)
• Water hits perpendicular to the face of board and directed along the
length of board. For every liter of water we redirect , we get 3 pounds of
lift and thrust causing it to travel faster across the water.
2 Lift + Thrust = Speed

STABILITY
• Depends on Renolds Number: Predicts the flow pattern
• Stickiness of the water
• Tighter the radius -> lower the stability and higher the turning efforts
VOLUME:
• Determines the Buoyancy effect.
• Low Volume = low Buoyancy = board below water level
• Higher Volume = Greater the Buoyancy = Board above the water level = fast paddling = early wave catch

VOL & WEIGHT RATIO = 100%

Selection of board volume


depends on the Level of surfer
and his weight.
Eg: Level 1: Standing up in the
water & Stolling and accelerating
