Wood: Each board is built using Amapola, Cork and Poplar. Danny prefers to work with Amapola and Poplar because of their high tensile strength to weight ratio.
Perimeter Frame:
Each perimeter frame is constructed using a system of molds and templates, which creates the board's rail outline, foil, and rocker.
Interior EPS Frame: The interior EPS frame is installed within the perimeter frame and shaped to create the deck and bottom contours.
Wood Skin for Deck and Bottom: The wood skin bonds the EPS and perimeter frame to create a strong, unified structure.
Epoxy Glassing Schedule: The boards are glassed using Resin Research Epoxy and a single layer of 4 oz. S-cloth on the deck and bottom.

The Perimeter Stringer:
- Each surfboard is engineered to provide a specific and predictable amount of flex/ return spring projection along the perimeter stringer/ rail line
- The perimeter stringer eliminates the twisting characteristics that can be found in foam center stringer surfboards in which speed and forward projection are lost
- Moves the controlled flex of the surfboard from the center of the board to the rail line which creates a more efficient and responsive transfer of energy from the surfer, to the surfboard, to the wave
- Transfers the weight of the surfboard to the perimeter which creates a more positive rail to rail feeling
- Boards have enhanced projection due to the return flex characteristics of Poplar and Amapola wood under tension
