The Funkshen TANK is built like……..a Tank! Strong and durable, a solid board with plenty of vintage appeal with its thicker core and wider template, maximising buoyancy without compromising performance. Perfect for any big guy or vintage rider!

 

Board Features:

Core: 1.9pcf Premium PP (A PP core of a 1.9 density is the industry standard for high performance bodyboards. This core material is designed for ultimate speed and projection. Its durability is unrivalled by any other core. Lightweight and rigid, this core will perform exceptionally well in warmer waters where other cores become slow and unresponsive).

Stringer: Single Carbon Fibre Stringer (A bodyboard with 1x Carbon Fibre Stringer utilises a Carbon Fibre rod running through the centre of the board to add longevity by improving stiffness and recoil while also greatly increasing the ability for projection. The single stringer also enhances performance and control. The use of Carbon Fibre ensures no additional weight is added to the board.)

Deck: Cellu-cushion 8lb PE Deck (8lb Polyethylene is the most superior form of deck skin for any bodyboard offering sufficient strength to ensure a longer lasting board. The strength of the 8lb Polyethylene reduces the chances of deck creases and damage).

Slick: DuPont Surlyn Slick (A Surlyn Slick is your only choice for slick if you demand the greatest amount of response and durability from your board. This high performance slick is the finest grade Surlyn made only by DuPont. Featuring an elastic-like quality to reduce the chance of creasing and damaging without minimising projection).

Rails: 60/40 Chine Double Rails (A rail design enabling a comfortable grip for holding the rails of the board when riding).

Channels: Yes (2 channels on the bottom of the board located at the tail to ensure stability and control on the face of the wave)

Tail: Clipped Crescent Tail (Provides superior control and hold on the wave face while also allowing for ease of rail to rail transitions and release from carves and spins.)

Additional Features: Nose Grips (Small bulbs on the underside of the nose of the board that enhance grip and control), Nose and Tail Buffers (An additional layer of padding on the nose and tail of the board that enhances longevity and durability).

This is a monster of a board

Board arrived in perfect condition. It's big and robust and as a 6'4" 160kg rider, I already feel confident this board is going to carry me. I haven't had chance to use it yet, but leaving a review based on the build quality and sheer scale of this thing. Excited doesn't come close when thinking about getting this in thing in the water. The black and yellow colour scheme is badass too. Great graphics. Oh and thanks for the vinyls that came with it. Class.

44'

First surf today on the 44 in 3ft ultra clean fast barreling waves and to be honest, I wish I bought this board when it first came out. Perfect for this 6'3, 100kg 50 year old. The amount of speed it generates in small waves was unreal, and I was able to make barrels that I'd question whether I would have made on my other boards. Highly recommend for the big boys and vintage riders.

Helluva whip!

Took the tank out for the 1st time today! Was a lil nervous about it only being 55mm thick (44in)...floated me fine and it really rips! Great control on face of wave and alottt of speed...im a bigger dude (6'3" and 200lbs) and this board is great for me. Super fast shipping to the USA and mark was a huge help in my decision to purchase this board....cant wait to try some other funkshen products...thanks again!!!
