3-time world champion Ben Player has done everything the bodyboarding world has to offer. He is constantly pushing the realms of what this sport is capable of achieving.
Ben has designed this board for those who want the best board model with increased speed, recoil, and projection key.
You can be sure that you are riding a world champion's deck when you pick one up with the BP stamp. Ben suggests you go up half a size on these boards, as the length is taken at the tip of the V-tail, not at the rail like crescent tails
This is what Ben has to say about his model:
"In surfing, I am constantly trying to refine my surfing. Every wave I catch and every section I hit has been an opportunity to improve.
This NMD board season is a representation of this, with 25 years of refinement I have made the template that I believe is the best that can be made.
It is straight, so it is easy to gain and maintain speed, and the cores are second to none for any condition.
These two factors combine to give you a versatile, elite wave-riding vehicle that I am proud to put my name on."
ALPHA FLEX Stringer – Flexibility and Evolved Performance
NMD’s ALPHA FLEX technology revolutionizes bodyboard design by optimizing the board's flex, projection, and durability. Unlike traditional stringers, this system uses parabolic beams in the core, allowing for more natural flex and greater control in every maneuver.
🔹 Enhanced Torsional Flex – Thanks to its design without a central tubular stringer and the use of the PFS-T system (Parabolic Flex System - Torsion), the board responds better to the rider's energy and adapts to sea conditions.
🔹 Increased Projection and Speed – The optimized structure boosts speed and improves response in turns and critical maneuvers.
🔹 Superior Durability – Built with a Kinetic Ultra 1.9lb PP core, 100% waterproof and high-strength, ensuring greater longevity and performance in any condition.
🔹 Rapid Recoil – The flexibility of the ALPHA FLEX allows the board to regain its shape quickly after each compression, providing a dynamic and progressive feel.
Available at Erizos Store, the NMD ALPHA FLEX Stringer is the ideal choice for riders seeking maximum performance, control, and speed in their bodyboard
FEATURES:
CORE: Kinetic Polypro with Gen 3 PFS-T parabolic core
Kinetic Polypro Core is a state-of-the-art engineered bodyboard core. A lightweight core that is fusion-formed to create a core that offers incredible flex properties, including instant recoil, added projection, enhanced longitudinal stiffness, and impressive compression resistance. This core is 100% waterproof. Built with premium 1.9lb density polypropylene resins, Kinetic Core offers amazing projection and response as a result of the high-pressure cell fusion created during the blank manufacturing process. Kinetic Core is a warm water core available in various reinforcement configurations, each tuned for specific wave conditions.
PFS-T™: Incorporating the patented PFS™ technology, the PFS-T features an angled beam configuration. Running from the tip of the wi-fly tail towards the nose, it made perfect sense to align the PFS beams directly in line with the hip, elbow, and hand, allowing for greater loading of the beams during turns and, therefore, more recoil/projection when pressure is released.
CONCAVE: Quad concave The quad concave can be divided into two parts:
1. Central double concave: tracks laminar flow (water) through the center of the board keeping you higher on the wave face, allowing you to generate more speed in your bottom turns.
2. External Venturi Channels: draws laminar flow from a wider entry point toward a narrow exit through the tail. According to Bernoulli's principle, the laminar flow increases in velocity as it travels through the channel, giving you more thrust.
The quad concave is precision-shaped on our custom-made AKU CNC shaping machine.
The AKU gives us the ability to design progressive channel and concave configurations with incredible precision and consistency that were previously not possible through manual shaping.
STRINGER: No Stringer
Alphaflex Technology
SLICK: Surlyn Slick. The Surlyn slick bottom skin is constructed with 1mm Dupont Surlyn backed with a composite layer of 1.5mm IXPE + 1.5mm IXPP for a total thickness of 4mm.
REACT MESH: Diamond-shaped mesh slick fabric fused between the board's core and the slick bottom skin to enhance stiffness and recoil.
TAIL: Crescent tail
ADDITIONAL FEATURES: BP Signature template, BP Griptech deck coating, 55/45 double rails, XFL nose and tail armor, bull grips, hand-finished, CNC-shaped, Buzz Tech lamination.
