VS BODYBOARDS Dave Winchester Alpha Flex Quad Concave PFS-T Polypro Core Wi-Fly 2.0 – 2023/24 Model

 

 

Dave Winchester has brought his style, versatilty & all round talent to VS. Winny has created this model for the those after the top shelf version of his template in Parabolic core. Dave has a legion of fans through his explosive & elegant wave riding. This model is a great choice if you dream of riding like Winny one day.

VS has defined innovation since Nick Mesritz started shaping. The Quad Concave WiFly 2.0 is the pinnacle of Bodyboards. Read on to be enlightened.
 

FEATURES:
CORE: Parabolic Gen 3 PFS-T Kinetic Polypro Core is a state of the art engineered bodyboard core. A lightweight core that is fusion formed to create a nucleus that delivers incredible flexural properties,
including instant recoil, added projection, enhanced longitudinal stiffness & awesome compression strength. This core is100% waterproof.Constructed from premium grade 1.9lb density Polypropylene resins, Kinetic Core delivers amazing projection and response as a result of high pressure cell-fusion created during the blank manufacturing process. Kinetic Core is a warm water core available in various reinforcement configurations, each tuned-in for specific wave condition.
PFS-T™ Incorporating the patented PFS™ technology the PFS-T features an angled beam setup. Running from the tip of the wi-fly tail, toed-in towards the nose, it made total sense to align the PFS beams directly in-line with the hip, elbow and hand, it allow’s for greater loading of the beams during turns and therefore more recoil/ projection when pressure is released.
CONCAVE:  Quad Concave
The Quad Concave can be broken down into two parts:
1. Central Double Concave – Tracks laminar (water) flow through the centre of the board keeping you higher on the wave face, which allows you to generate more speed into your bottom turns.
2. Outer Venturi Channels – Draws the laminar flow from a wider entry point into a narrow exit through the tail. Based on Bernoulli’s principle, the laminar flow increases in speed as it progresses through the channel, giving you more drive.  
The Quad Concave is precision shaped on our custom built AKU CNC shaping machine.
The AKU gives us the ability to design progressive channel and concave set-ups with incredible accuracy and consistency previously not possible by hand shaping.
STRINGER: No Stringer
DECK: WaveCushion 8lb PE Deck with Q12 Backing
SLICK: Surlyn Slick by DuPont
REACT MESH: Diamond shaped slick mesh weave fused between the boards core and slick bottom skin for enhanced stiffness and recoil.
TAIL:  The WI-FLY tail is a progressive tail design incorporating the hydrodynamic flow from the Quad Concave for more positive traction during bottom turns and lip drives.  The aggressive Deep V tail’s slighly shorter rails & the angled point from the tip of the tail to rails allows for better release and works in conjunction with the Quad Concave to release in tight spins & pocket moves. In the testing phase it was found that the Deep V removed a lot of volume from the tail area, so to compensate for the reduced volume there is an added 1/2” to length without changing nose, wide-point and tail widths. So if you ride a 41.5” in crescent tail you will ride a 42” in the WiFly V2.
