We got a cool press release from Nomad telling us they found a new deck skin technology. They call it WATER BARRIER SKIN (WBS) and it’s available on their 07/08 F.S.D. Ultimate model.

Water Barrier Skin (WBS) has been developed to increase the strength of deck skin of your board by heat laminating a high tensile strength film to the surface of bare deck foam skin.

This barrier provides protection from the elements your board is exposed to, sunlight, sea water, and sand. It also provides surface protection from cuts, punctures, and scratches by dispersing pressure from the rider and effectively prevents indentations to the surface of the bodyboard, reducing the level of wear and tear your board receives.

WBS provides structural stability as a rider flexes or torques the board. With a specially designed embossed pattern on the film, WBS also helps to provide added texture for improved grip. This texture gives the board a unique visual quality when light hits it that is unsurpassed in the bodyboard industry.

Here’s picture of the Nomad FSD Ultimate WBS board.
