Construction

O.S.S Technology

Ahd boards are built in "One Shot Sandwich" (OSS techonology), a specific process we have developed with our factory

For all our boards, deck and bottom are moulded simultaneously in a closed mould, which is compressed then heated at 50°C for the epoxy resin to polymerise.
Techno Mouldown
An outside pressure of 5 tons on the mould, countered by the inner pressure of the EPS core, ensures an excellent compaction of the sandwich skin. To achieve this, we very precisely shape the EPS cores with a five-axis CAM milling-machine.
This exclusive technology ensures a faithful reproduction of the original shape by dispensing with any additional stratification and re-shaping by hand, which can only induce subtle, but important, changes to the board’s lines.
The outside skin, itself, is a true sandwich, for the full deck and bottom surface, or part of it, according to each model’s program and sophistication.
Techno Mouldup
This sandwich lay-up is carefully designed, according to each type of board, with either a PVC or wood core which, due to its thickness and mechanical characteristics, strengthens the composite stiffness and minimizes local deformations. The cloth plies in the sandwich structure are of different weights and fibre-type and laid-up at specific angles, again in a special arrangement for each board type and its specific program.
O.S.S is a modern technology, significantly outomated and "cleaner", but offering greater flexibility in the design and lay-up of the external and intermediate skins.
