Why Basalt?
Basalt fiber, made from volcanic rock, is a stronger, more sustainable alternative to fiberglass. It enhances durability, flex, and vibration dampening while reducing environmental impact. Unlike fiberglass, basalt contains no petrochemicals, sheds no microplastics, and lasts longer, making it a better choice for both performance and the planet.
Stronger, Longer-Lasting Boards
Basalt fiber has up to 48% higher tensile strength than fiberglass (3,100 MPa vs. 2,100 MPa), improving flex resiliency and impact resistance while greatly reducing the risk of board snapping. It also withstands heat and sun exposure better, extending your surf craft’s lifespan.
No Petrochemicals, No Microplastics
Unlike fiberglass, which relies on petroleum-based chemicals and sheds microplastics over time, basalt is a 100% natural, mineral-based material. It doesn’t release plastic pollution, is safer to produce and handle, and requires no toxic additives in its raw form.
Sourced from the Earth
Basalt is one of the most abundant natural materials on the planet. Formed by cooling lava, it’s a renewable resource that requires minimal processing and has a lower carbon footprint than synthetic alternatives like fiberglass.
