Abstract
A surfboard made of a high-density ethyl vinyl acetate contained within a polyethylene shell is preferably produced by cutting to the shape of a conventional surfboard, a sufficient quantity of high-density ethyl vinyl acetate, which is then wrapped in a protective polyethylene shell. Thereafter, the combined high-density ethyl vinyl acetate with its polyethylene shell is heated for approximately fifteen minutes at a temperature sufficient for bonding the polyethylene shell to the high-density ethyl vinyl acetate. Once bonding is complete, the surfboard is then cooled and, if necessary, sculptured to its final shape. The final shape of the surfboard may be that of any conventional surfboard and may, preferably, include a “kick tail.”
Claims2
A method for manufacturing a surfboard, comprising the steps of:
- cutting high-density ethyl vinyl acetate to a shape of that of a surfboard;
- wrapping said high-density ethyl vinyl acetate having the shape of a surfboard in a polyethylene shell;
- heating the surfboard after said wrapping in said polyethylene shell for approximately fifteen minutes at a temperature sufficient for bonding said polyethylene shell to said high-density ethyl vinyl acetate;
- and,
- cooling said surfboard subsequent to said heating step.
