CL-17 WAVEPOOL DURABILITY REDEFINED
In 2001, NSP transformed the surf industry by pioneering the durable epoxy surfboard category, empowering retailers, schools and rental centres worldwide to offer surfboards with unmatched durability. This innovation opened the doors for countless new surfers.
Now, 23 years and numerous epoxy advancements later, NSP, in collaboration with Cobra International, has once again set a new standard with Cl-17, a patent-pending innovation specifically for wave pools.
CL-17 IS A GAME CHANGER
It combines cutting-edge core construction, advanced composites and
thermoforming with precision vacuum molding technology to tackle the
biggest challenges faced by wave pool operators.
“Our journey started by listening to pool operators who told us how current boards fail under high-demand conditions. We set out to solve this problem,” says Chris Chamberlain, NSP Global Brand Manager.
CL-17, envisioned by NSP CEO Trent Pedersen, underwent rigorous testing by NSP’s global team riders and at Urban Surf Melbourne. By integrating real-world feedback from team riders, coaches, staff, and customers, and leveraging the ‘Flowstate’ AI video, NSP accumulated thousands of hours of test data.
This data, combined with extensive lab testing at Cobra, resulted in groundbreaking technology that delivers higher ROI for operators, with reduced damage and downtime, and increased customer satisfaction.
“The finished product is unlike anything before. Previously, you had to choose between light and short-lived or strong, heavy and unpopular. CL-17 changes that” Chris explains.
If your facility would prefer to focus on keeping your customers stoked rather than constant board repairs and the costs of having boards out of circulation. NSP CL-17 technology is your ultimate solution.
