Appelcore Stringers available for Stretch EPS TECH

Now your next custom Stretch can be made using tri-band basswood stringers available from appelcore! (Not a typo). Why is this any different you ask? Now, performance shortboard shapes can utilize an all unidirectional, tri-band wood stringer construction in place of a heavier weight or thicker paraband stringer. Basswood is preferred for it's strength-to-weight ratio, ease of shaping and appearance. Some other multi-ply wood stringers will have a perpendicular grain respective to the length of the board. With a triple laminate construction, your centerline stringer can be narrower while retaining excellent flex properties without compromising strength. This makes for a lighter, "poppier" board without the stress of buckling that you would normally get from a single ply 1/8" stringer. Combined with Stretch Boards EPS TECH construction: deck channels, bias weave direct size S-cloth and Marko Foam, the result is a durable board you can feel has a pulse! To make your custom board even more unique, Appelcore stringers are available in a variety of color combinations. Be sure to specify Appelcore in your next board in lieu of the paraband 3/16". Available in shortboards or doubled up into 6-ply 1/4" stringers for boards over 7'. For more info on Appelcore stringers visit: www.appelcore.com
