Slater Designs S Boss Volcanic Surfboard


The S Boss: a performance board with more range in small to big surf than any other high- performance board I have ever surfed. It is the board that I go to every time there are good waves for the last two and a half years. Kelly came to me with the idea of making a blunt nose performance board with parallel rails with this crazy double barrel v bottom. I liked all his ideas except for the double barrel set into a v (instead of a concave which is what I normally prefer) I could not talk him out of it and realized as soon as I surfed my first (5’11”) sboss that I was totally wrong about the v. Right away kelly saw a lot of promise with the shape as did kevin schulz and a friend he left the third one with in bali. I made a second round with a rocker that is tried and true in boards like the dominator2. That is when the shape was essentially set and since then we’ve refined the dimensions, the rail tuck and volume distribution. The key design elements a surfer will notice on this board that stand out from other boards is the outline with the blunt nose, the familiar frk roundtail, the s deck/foot wells on the deck, and as I mentioned the double barrel set into a v bottom contour (I have thought about this bottom more than any other bottom I have put onto a surfboard), surfers will want to ride their sboss shorter than their regular short board and an inch or two longer than their grovellers. Pay close attention to the volume on this board and error on the side of more volume (foam is your friend). The turning radius is super tight because of the volume, bottom contour and narrowness packed into a shorter board.

About Volcanic Construction:


Volcanic Tech is made from Basalt Fibers Extruded from Volcanic Rocks that are crushed, melted and extruded into woven fibers that make up the cloth. The manufacture of basalt fiber requires the melting of the crushed and washed basalt rock at about 1,500 °C (2,730 °F). The molten rock is then extruded through small nozzles to produce continuous filaments of basalt fiber. Those filaments are then chopped into long stem fibers and woven into lamination cloth fiber. The cloth has similar characteristics to carbon as it relates to strength and weight however because the fibers are derived from Organic Raw materials, when combined with Bio Resins it serves as better degradable ECO alternative than using traditional carbon fiber cloth.

Basalt fiber is a relative newcomer to fiber reinforced polymers (FRPs) and structural composites. It has a similar chemical composition as glass fiber but has better strength characteristics, and unlike most glass fibers is highly resistant to alkaline, acidic and salt attack making it a good candidate for surfboard manufacturing.

Compared to carbon and aramid fiber, it has the features of wider application temperature range -452° F to 1,200° F (-269° C to +650° C), higher oxidation resistance, higher radiation resistance, higher compression strength, and higher shear strength.

 The cloth can withstand high temperatures unlike carbon fiber and as a result is heavily used the Aerospace industry in the creation of rockets and and jet engines. The elasticity characteristics of this fiber is higher than that of traditional Carbon fiber allowing the board to have more flex for a natural feel under foot.



About Slater Designs:


“I’m not sure if the perfect board really exists, but I’m enjoying the freedom to collaborate with some of surfing’s most innovative shapers and designers.

It is a quest to create something different in a slightly different way that appeals to where I want to go on a wave. Discovering a new feeling under my feet, drawing a new line, or taking a completely different track on a wave is something I never stop dreaming about.

Now being able share and grow that idea with others is what keeps surfing fun for me.”

-Kelly Slater
