Detailed product description of Paddleboard Elements RYSO 12.6 Blue

Paddleboard Elements RYSO 12.6 Blue is an advanced paddleboard model designed for riders looking for excellent stability, durability and increased load capacity. This paddleboard is the ideal choice for those planning longer rides and facing more challenging water conditions. It offers a great experience for riders of all levels, whether it be for leisurely cruises or adventurous expeditions.

Key features:

• Maximum stabilityelements RYSO 12.6 Blue features a longer centre fin and two side fins that provide excellent directional control and stability, making it ideal for longer and more demanding cruises.

• High Quality Construction - Fusion Technologya: This paddleboard is constructed using an advanced two-layer (pre)laminated construction, also known as Fusion Technology (FT), MSL (Monocoque Structural Laminate) or ESD (Engineered Structural Dropstitch). This technology, commonly used on more expensive models, combines the light weight of single-layer paddleboards with the strength and durability of the double-layer variants. The two layers of PVC are compressed under high temperature and pressure, eliminating the need for glue and resulting in a lighter, greener and stronger paddleboard that can withstand higher pressure and provide better performance on the water.

• Increased load capacity: Elements RYSO 12.6 Blue has a load capacity of up to 130 kg, which is 20 kg more than the smaller models. This makes it ideal for heavier riders or for those who want to carry more equipment or travel two-up.

• D-rings for kayak seata: The paddleboard is equipped with D-rings that allow you to attach a kayak seat. Combined with a matching paddle, you can easily convert the paddleboard into a kayak and enjoy paddling while seated, increasing its versatility.

• Elegant designa: The modern design in blue not only looks great but also increases visibility on the water, which contributes to safety.

Supplied accessories:

Paddleboard Elements RYSO 12.6 Blue is equipped with everything you need for a comfortable start:

• Pump with pressure gauge: Allows quick and easy inflation of the paddleboard.
• Leash: Safety strap to ensure that the paddleboard stays close to you at all times.
• Deck rubber: Fastening system in the front for safe storage of luggage.
• Transport packaginga: Durable cover for easy carrying and storage of the paddleboard.
• Three-piece adjustable alu SUP paddlea lightweight and adjustable tool for comfortable paddling.
• Service kit: Basic equipment for maintenance and repair of the paddleboard, which prolongs its life.

Technical specifications:

• Dimensions: 385 x 85 x 15 cm cm (length x width x thickness)
• Load capacity: Up to 130 kg
• Colour: Blue

Recommendations and use:

Paddleboard Elements RYSO 12.6 Blue is the ideal choice for those looking for more stability, higher load capacity and durability for longer and more demanding rides. Its design and size make it the perfect companion for long trips on the water, family activities or adventures on the open sea. With D-rings allowing the addition of a kayak seat, it becomes a versatile tool for a variety of water activities. This model offers excellent value for money and is suitable for both recreational and more intensive use.

Double-layer (pre-)laminated construction - Fusion Technology (FT), MSL, ESD

What kind of technology is that?

Double-laminated construction, also known as Fusion Technology (FT), MSL (Monocoque Structural Laminate) or ESD (Engineered Structural Dropstitch), is an advanced manufacturing technology used in the production of paddleboards. This technology combines the advantages of monolayer and double-layer construction, which means that paddleboards made in this way have the low weight of single-layer models and the high strength of double-layer variants.

How does it work?

Unlike traditional two-layer construction, where the PVC layers are bonded together with adhesive, the process is different in laminated construction. Here, the two layers of PVC are pressed together under high temperature and high pressure. This process eliminates the need for glue, which would otherwise add weight and could be environmentally problematic.

Key advantages and benefits:

1. Lower weighta: The absence of glue in the lamination process means that the paddleboard is lighter than its glued two-layer counterparts. This makes the paddleboard easier to handle, carry and store.
2. Higher strength and stiffnessa: The laminated bonding of the PVC layers creates a stronger and more durable structure that allows the paddleboard to withstand higher pressure. The result is a stronger and stiffer paddleboard that provides better performance on the water, especially in more challenging conditions.
3. Greeninga: Removing glue from the manufacturing process makes the paddleboard more environmentally friendly by reducing the amount of chemicals used and minimizing the environmental footprint associated with manufacturing.
4. Easier packaginga: Paddleboards made with this technology are easier to pack and fold, making them easier to transport and store.

Disadvantages:

The only disadvantage of this technology may be a slight susceptibility to pressure loss, which can occur when air leaks through the micropores in the material layer. However, this process is slow and pressure loss usually takes several days to become noticeable.

Conclusion

The two-layer (pre-)laminated construction is an advanced technology that combines the best of both worlds - the lightness of single-layer and the strength of double-layer paddleboards. As a result, it offers higher performance, greater durability and a greener profile, making it the ideal choice for anyone looking for a quality, reliable paddleboard with excellent performance.
