NMD eventually released its new core technology to the public: The NMD Parabolic Flex System
What’s that ? Here’s a little Spongercity.com explanation / recap :
Often seen in Ben Player’s and Dave Winchester’s hands this past year the NMD PFS technology is a core that is composed of a higher density Kinetic PP (1.9lb) in the center of the board and a lower density Kinetic PP (1.6lb) along the rails. The greater flex offered by the lower density PP in the rails helps the rider control the board better whereas the higher density PP in the center helps with speed and projection.
For more info and graphics and the full NMD PFS Press release make sure you click on the link below where all the NMD release / graphics are.
