CORE WITH FOAMED SKIN COVERING

摘要

A bodyboard (50) with skins (56, 58) covering the top and bottom surfaces of a foam plank that forms a core (52) in the bodyboard. The top skin (56) is prepared by heat-expanding a foamable matrix layer having a polyolefin film deposited on the top surface of the matrix layer. With the application of heat, the matrix layer becomes a foam, and the polyolefin film softens and integrates with the foam. Graphics carried internally on the film become an integral part of the foam.
