INJECTION MOLDED SURFBOARD INSERT HAVING PRE-IMPREGNATED COMPOSITE FIBER MATRIX STRUCTURE

摘要

An insert for a water sports board, wherein the insert includes a pre-preg flange extending outwardly from an injection molded central housing to provide enhance structural properties of the insert, as well as enhanced intermediate bonding between the injection molded central housing and a surface polymer. The pre-preg flange further improves the strength to weight ratio when compared to conventional inserts.
