Excellence is our only target. It is only thanks to over twenty years of experience, research and developement, and the continous feedback from both our team and our customers that we have reached a new and totally unequaled quality standard. Board construction is not just about using exotic materials, which has always been Drops’ policy anyway. These are worth nothing if used without the adequate knowhow. The implementation of a new moulding technology assures that the boards are totally identical to the prototypes they have been developed from. The new monocoque sandwich structure greatly improves structural characteristics of the boards such as weight, rigididity, and resistance. Furthermore specific reinforcements have been positioned in the most stressed areas such as: around the mastbox, finbox and footstraps as well as all those areas, such as the bow, that risk being damaged by blows. Special attention has been paid to reinforcing finboxes which are connected both to the hull and the deck through a high density PVC block. Using the best materials to obtain a light and bombproof construction is worth nothing unless the fittings and accessories meet the same standards. This is why Drops boards are supplied with the best accessories on the market.

Our never ending R&D on the use of materials has brought us to obtain boards with optimum flexibility whilst maintaining very low weight and great resistance. This can only be done thanks to our knowledge of the structural behaviour of materials and of which are the most stressed areas of boards. No compromises are made on quality of materials, 2 different foam-densities are used for the core, whilst the deck and hull skins are constructed with composite cloths, including the use of unidirectional carbon fibre in order to optimise the flexing characteristics of the boards. Maximum resistance is guaranteed to the boards thanks to specific reinforcements in all critical areas. The edges have an ABS reinforcement that prevents chipping and peeling whilst a PVC film, graphically printed on the inner side, prevents the board and the graphics from getting scratched and also protects them against UV rays. Maximum attention has been made to fittings and accessories as well. The fins are solidly fixed with 2 screws. The boards are fitted with the new screw on type pads, so there is no risk of them un-gluing.. The handle is made with EVA padding and an aluminium internal stiffening reinforcement.
