Our material is more rigid than anyone's
Check out how our material compares to the basic, PVC mixed with cloth carbon-fiber you may have seen. Our "carbon" has always been about a sophisticated material with much better properties.
Rigid Boards
Stiffer, Not-Carbon Stringers
Our stiffening stringers are the best, unrivaled in the industry.
They no longer contain carbon fiber.
Yes, we still make the most rigid inflatable boards on the planet.
I know, we've been talking about our carbon for years, but carbon fiber was not actually a critical ingredient in manufacturing our specialized stringers.
Nevertheless, early in 2015 we shortened the material's name to “Carbon”... It was faster than “Ultra-high-strength glass fibers embedded in a thermoplastic polymer matrix,” and these boards are fast.
Our new “Carbon” is both lighter and higher-modulus (stiffer).
…Maybe we’ll rename it the “Not-Carbon Series”...
Just dig into our unrivaled, space-age, patented material that makes your board rigid, fast, and high-performance.

Our stringers are better
MORE GLIDE, LESS DRAG.
While our competitors use a fabric-like woven carbon fiber weave to claim that they have the "stiffest inflatable boards out there," they don't. The properties of those woven carbon fiber fabrics don't compare to the continuous fiber-reinforced thermoplastics that make our boards up to 300% more rigid than a board without a Hala stringer.
