GIUNGISCIO® is a handmade surfcraft with a hollow structure using paper, wood, and resin.

Please read the following information to understand its character, care, and handling


Is it rideable?
 
  • Yes, you can actually enjoy surfing with it.
Is that a vent plug on the board?
  • Yes. Because of the hollow structure. The internal air expands and shrinks by changes in temperature and atmospheric pressure. This plug allows air but not water.
Is it light weight?
  • Approximately 2.2 kg with fins. Probably it is lightweight in a normal surfboard. As a remarkable point, it feels lighter in the water because of its rich floating power.
What kind of riding can we do with it?
  • Depending on the person, the timing of catching the surf and the control of board may be different.
  • The design is intended to catch the surf quickly and make the control lighter.
Does it break?
  • There is no problem if the surf is 3 or 4 feet on the sandy beach.
  • Dumping surf can cause damage, especially near the shallow water.
Water does not enter? 
  • Water does not get into the surfboard when enjoying normal surfing. However, if the surfboard contacts something hard such as rocks or coral reefs, it will get damage and water get in. 
  • If the vent plug is not closed properly, water will enter inside from there.
Does it last longer?
  • It is important that you understand the handling precautions.
  • After use, dew condensation occurs inside by temperature differences. Condensation gradually disappears, but moisture may remain on the cardboard material. The cardboard containing moisture will be softened, so it can last for a long time by drying it enough.
How to repair if the board is damaged?
  • When you found that water came inside during play, stop playing immediately. Make a hole on the damaged area to get rid of any water and make it dry completely. And then close the hole. By stopping play immediately, the cardboard inside will not be damaged much, and can be repaired and used again.

Verification

Main evaluations conducted in Japan:

  • Compression cycle test
  • High temperature test
  • Low air pressure test
  • Strength test
  • Temperature & humidity cycle test
  • Thermal cycle test
  • Waterproof pressure resistance test
Component and Handling precautions are attached to this page, so please refer to them.

That is all of the overview.
Every GIUNGISCIO® is handcrafted individually.
We would be happy to answer any questions.
