Mark Phipps Surfboard Yo
The Yo was designed by Mark for someone that wants one board that he or she can count on without hesitation. The outline resembles a Single fin in the nose due to the fact the original custom Yo was a 1finbox 2 trailer setup. The tail however pulls into a rounded pin tail which will give you plenty of hold in the bigger stuff, and provide a lot of curve around the back foot. The extra volume in front of the chest gives you speed down the line and the rounded pintail to draw tighter arcs in the pocket. The Yo is just as comfortable as a thruster as it is a Quad making it the ultimate travelling board, Quad for the fast days and thruster for the big arcs. Go Yo Go

PU CONSTRUCTION
PU construction by Euroglass. The “P” gets its name from both the resin and the foam: polyester resin and the “U” comes from polyurethane foam . PU is the traditional surfboard construction since foam core surfboards were invented. It is still the most widely used construction method today. PU is often incorrectly referred to as “fiberglass” construction – the reason this is incorrect is because the same exact fiberglass cloth is used in both PU and Epoxy construction types, it’s the foam core and resin that soaks into the fiberglass cloth (and foam) that differ. While PU construction is generally slightly heavier and isn’t quite as strong as Epoxy construction, it tends to have a more reliable and predictable feeling whilst surfing. This is due primarily to a slower flex pattern and denser foam than epoxy construction, which basically causes less “surprises” and more predictability while surfing, especially when making hard or sharp turns. PU construction tends to be more naturally conducive to color work, especially translucent resin tints. PU is also a bit less sensitive to water infiltration and heat than epoxy construction.
