It is an “un-crimped”, multi-directional carbon, which enhances and controls torsional force from rail to rail. Multi-axial carbon fiber is a great alternative to traditional woven carbon fibers because it is made up of alternately aligned layers of unidirectional carbon reinforcement.\u003cbr\u003eBecause it’s not woven, the fibers do not “crimp” under and over perpendicular fibers, in the way that traditional woven fabrics do.  The fibers lay flatter, retain less resin, remain smoother, straighter and stronger, with a more natural flex.  Unlike traditional woven fabrics, there is also no 90 (degree) rail to rail carbon, which creates weak points and easy fissures for deck buckles, cracks and breaks.\u003cbr\u003eThe +30\/-30° fabric orientation, the torsion force and pressure from the surfer’s feet radiates outward to more of the rail line, creating greater drive, connection and thus control, with the edges and perimeter of the board.  Strength and stability underfoot and along the rail line, work together as one.\u003cbr\u003eWARNING: Carbon Fiber surfboards can easily get Hot!  They’re dark…and like all things dark, they soak sun and heat up. The BlackSheepBuilt boards are made with lightweight EPS foam and a Carbon Fiber shell.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e5'6 x 20.13 x 2.38 - 29.75L\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFutures Tri- quad- Fins not included\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.seasidesurfshop.com\/collections\/lost-surfboards\"\u003eLost Surfboards\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lost Surfboards","offers":[{"title":"5'6\"","offer_id":42058637443118,"sku":"Lost-Pisces Blacksheep-5'6","price":930.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/3687\/files\/78E2C59D-2DF6-4800-9D53-5570A70E97C3.jpg?v=1770511103","url":"https:\/\/www.seasidesurfshop.com\/products\/lost-surfboards-56-pisces-black-sheep-surfboard","provider":"Seaside Surf Shop ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
