Not every paddleboard is built equal. At Samphire, all of our paddleboards are produced using our industry-leading MFW, or ‘MonoFusionWeld’ Technology. In this process, two layers of material are precision heat-welded together, forming one strong layer. This produces lightweight, yet super-stiff boards – meaning an easier, quicker, and more stable paddleboarding experience for you.

At a glance:

• Perfect for lighter adults (up to 70kg), and younger riders
• Super stable, stiff, and durable – due to MFW construction
• Super-lightweight and easy to pack and transport
• Designed for all-condition use – from waves to rivers
• Includes everything you need to get started

The 8’6’’ board is designed with kids, teens, and lighter adults (up to 70kg) in mind, and is a perfect introduction to the world of SUPs. From cruising down rivers to surfing waves, this board is specifically shaped to deliver stable, easy paddling for younger or lighter riders. Our shortest board doesn’t miss out on any of the premium technology of its bigger siblings either – meaning it’s super-stiff, yet incredibly versatile, durable and lightweight. Featuring our industry-leading MFW (MonoFusionWeld) construction technology, this board is super lightweight, yet super-stiff and incredibly stable – perfect for advanced users and beginners alike. Our kit comes with everything you need to get out on the water.

About MFW Construction:

Generally, you’ll hear of three types of SUP construction – single layer, double layer, and ‘fusion’ construction – our MFW technology.

Single-layer is the most widely used, and cheapest construction to produce. Seen a super cheap board online? It’ll use this basic construction. As you can imagine, it uses just one layer of plastic – so although lightweight, it’s super soft and flexible and can lose its shape over time, and in some cases, won’t even be airtight. It will visibly bow beneath you in the water, feeling unstable – not great for anyone, especially beginners.

Next up, Double layer. Yes, you guessed it, we’re talking two layers of plastic here – literally glued together – not very elegant at all. The result? A stiffer, more durable board, but with all that glue, they’re super heavy, and can carry cosmetic imperfections. They’re also much trickier to roll and pack away – these can be hard to transport and carry, especially when dealing with bigger boards.

The answer? Our MFW Fusion Tech. Two layers, precision heat-welded into one monolayer. Super stiff – yet super lightweight, incredibly durable, and easy to pack and roll. The best of all worlds, and the downsides of none – and the only construction we trust here at Samphire.
