How an OSSA
foil board is made.
Ten steps from file to boat. Most of them by hand. None of them rushed.
The design file
Every shape starts with what our team actually rides across surf, skim and foil. Chad Carlson helps design each file, so nothing reaches the factory that hasn't earned its place on the water.
CNC cut core
The foam core is cut by CNC straight from that file. Same outline, same rocker, every board.
Hand shaped rails
Rails are shaped and fine tuned by hand. This is where the board gets its feel, how it releases and how it sets down.
Strength where it counts
PVC goes into strategic spots for strength and stiffness, right where a foil board takes the most load.
Hand laid carbon
The board is glassed in carbon by hand, then vacuum bagged so every one comes out with the same strength and weight. Extra carbon goes into the stringer and around the foil box.
Sanded and finished
Every surface is sanded and finished smooth before a drop of paint goes on.
Paint and pinstripes
Paint, graphics, logos and our double pinstripe, then a final clear coat. Clean and quiet. The way you know it's OSSA.
Traction and air plugs
Traction pads go down and air plugs go in.
Quality check
Every board is checked by hand before it leaves. If it wouldn't go on our boat, it doesn't go on yours.
Ready to ride
It ships with hardware, foot straps and a board bag. Unbox it, bolt on your foil, go.
Boards that never disappoint. That's the only standard, because they're the boards we ride.
