Board Construction Question

A lot of boards advertise that they have a full "wood core". Anyone know what woods are typically used? Do any boards have a full bamboo core?

Doesn't really matter, construction techniques are all 21st century, all with a different new tech improvements and tweaks, with new graphics, and rotating foot straps with super cool new advance special formula kinda thing.

I usually loose them or want to ride something different. Im constantly in search of "THE MAJIC STICK"
Im still looking by the way. I got a really nice 2009 Slingshot SX 137 with NSI double stuff (SICK!), Local pro hit the slider with it so its LEGIT!, trust me your wont break it its got a wood core.

PM me and will talk

Pump your kite, pump your go-joe, now pump your board. What's next?

A lot of boards with wood core's are made from Poplar, Birch, or bamboo.

See, I told you.

• Superior performance and responsiveness
• Exceptional wave curve / face / surface adaption
• The optimal application of internal force vectors guarantees maximal reset momentum
• Optimal flexibility and acceleration
• Highly resistant to dents and dings without feeling rigid or hard
• High strength to weight ratio, no delamination, less breaks and buckles
• Completely customizable shapes and glassing
• Easy to fix and recyclable

Dude, Im sold. Where do I buy one and how much cash do I need to make my dream board come true?

Polonia wood is used by Underground and Flexifoil in some of their boards.

They say: "Polonia wood core for performance and durability. This wood is very light, extremely stable and will not absorb water if damaged."
