One of our newest projects with a focus on innovation in fins for surfboards.
We are designing testing rigs that allows us to measure fin behaviour at high speed without the need to put a surfer in the water on waves of consequence
The Surf Flex Lab progresses surf
and water sports technology to maximize performance and enjoyment of water sports. We pursue knowledge in a way that has never been done before. We progress what is possible through technology and innovation.
Our team of researchers has expertise in surfing, surf engineering, performance analysis, mechanical flex, Additive Manufacturing (3D printing), CAD design, Shaping machines, rapid prototyping, data handling, marketing, photojournalism and telemetry
Our passion for water sports goes beyond the thrill of the waves; it drives our commitment to testing, developing, and consulting and helping you. Through rigorous testing of equipment and innovative product development, we strive to propel the industry forward, with a focus on performance and/or safety. Our expert services, informed by years of experience, surfing, froth and all underpinned by research can be tailored to your needs. We will make it happen at the University of Wollongong.
