What is Drop-Stitch technology?

Drop-Stitch uses thousands of internal polyester threads connecting the top and bottom PVC layers, allowing the board to maintain a flat, rigid shape under high pressure (15-20 PSI) while remaining lightweight and packable.

What pressure can Drop-Stitch boards handle?

Standard 4-inch (10cm) cores: 15 PSI. Premium 6-inch (15cm) cores: up to 20 PSI. All tested at 1.25x rated pressure for 24-48h.

What materials does Aquafarer use?

Marine-grade PVC (0.9-1.2mm, 1,100-1,680 DTEX), Hypalon/CSM for commercial applications, and premium Drop-Stitch core fabrics.

What welding technology is used?

High-frequency RF welding for PVC seams and hand gluing for Hypalon/CSM tubes, with peel testing and backlight seam inspection.

How does UV resistance testing work?

Per ASTM G154 accelerated weathering standard — materials are exposed to concentrated UV cycles simulating years of sun exposure.
