With SixD Technology™ shapers will be able to control the flex, moment of inertia, weight, length, thickness and width of their boards, giving the customer a board that perfectly fits their surfing style, is stronger, and more durable. |

1. Flex Control – Flex has long been the most important aspect in snowboard design, allowing board makers to tailor snowboards to the rider's weight and riding style. This element of design is equally important in surfboard performance but traditional materials do not allow any flex control.
SixD Technology™ gives shapers the ability to tailor flex to meet the performance requirements of their surfers. |

2. Moi – Moi (Moment of Inertia) is an integral element of any board sport and controls the ease with which the board spins. Moi can be increased for greater control in huge drops and barreling sections. Minimal Moi is ideal for aerials, mastering tight pocket turns, and throwing fin free slides. SixD Technology allows shapers to modify Moi and create boards that better equip surfers in all wave conditions. |

3. Flight Control – SixD Technology™ will give the surfer a full range of weight control in his quiver. The high performance pro models are 40% lighter than any polyurethane boards. This minimal weight stimulates advanced aerial maneuvers and is ideal for small to medium wave conditions. SixD Technology™ can also be weighted for enhanced performance in large waves or choppy conditions.

4. Length – Length is a crucial element of surfboard design, influencing buoyancy, paddling speed, and maneuverability. A longer board is often harder to turn, as there is a longer rail creating a bigger turning circumference. Shorter boards are generally more responsive to turning.
5. Thickness – The thickness of a surfboard is directly related to its volume and buoyancy. A thicker board floats better and is characteristic of feeling "corky" in the water.
6. Width – The width of a surfboard creates surface volume with which a shaper can make various concaved bottoms. A wider board planes out of the water quicker, allowing a surfer to gain speed on small and slow waves. A board that is less wide handles speedy waves well and rarely skips out of control. |
