HOW DOES ARMOURED LABS SURF GUARD WORK?

You're probably wondering how Armoured Labs Surf Guard works. Surf Guard is a unique formula of silicon dioxide (SiO2) designed specifically to protect and prolong your water sports boards and accessories. 

SiO2 coatings have been gaining popularity in recent years for their ability to protect and enhance the performance of various surfaces. This is particularly true for foil boards, surfboards, paddle boards, skimboards, inflatables and more which are constantly exposed to the harsh conditions of saltwater, sand, and UV rays. In this blog post, we will explore the benefits of SiO2 coatings on these boards and why they are worth considering for any water sports enthusiast.

First, let's understand what SiO2 coatings are. SiO2 stands for silicon dioxide, which is a compound commonly found in nature, such as in sand and quartz. SiO2 coatings are essentially a thin layer of silicon dioxide that is applied to a surface to protect it from damage and enhance its properties. When applied to foils, foil boards, surfboards, paddleboards, kayaks, canoes, and skimboards, SiO2 coatings can provide several benefits, such as:

 

01. Protection from scratches and dings

Surfboards, foil boards, and skimboards are prone to scratches and dings, which can affect their performance and lifespan. Surf Guard can provide a hard, scratch-resistant barrier that can protect these boards from minor impacts and abrasions. This means that your board will stay looking new for longer and won't require frequent repairs or replacements.

 

02. Enhanced hydrophobic properties

One of the key benefits of Surf Guard is the ability to repel water. When applied to surfboards, foil boards, and skimboards, Surf Guard can create a hydrophobic surface that causes water to bead up and roll off the board. This can result in improved speed, reduced drag, and a smoother ride.

 

03. Protection from UV Exposure

Exposure to the sun's UV rays can cause paddleboards, surfboards, kayaks, foil boards, and skimboards to fade, yellow, and become brittle over time. Surf Guard provides a protective layer that shields these boards from UV damage, which can extend their lifespan and keep them looking new.

 

04. Improved performance

Surf Guard will help enhance the performance of surfboards, foil boards, and skimboards. By creating a smoother, more hydrophobic surface, Surf Guard can improve speed, reduce drag, and increase maneuverability This can be particularly beneficial for competitive surfers and foil boarders who are looking to gain an edge over their competitors.

 

05. Easy maintenance

Surfaces coated with Surf Guard are relatively easy to maintain. They require minimal cleaning and Surf Guard can be reapplied periodically to maintain their protective properties. This means that you can spend less time maintaining your board and more time enjoying the waves.

 

In conclusion, SiO2 marine grade coatings developed by Armoured Labs Protection, Inc “Surf Guard” can provide several benefits for paddleboards (hard or inflatable), surfboards, foil boards, foils and skimboards. They can protect these boards from scratches, dings, and UV damage, and enhance their hydrophobic properties and performance.

If you are a water sports enthusiast looking to improve the performance and lifespan of your board, consider investing in Armoured Labs Surf Guard. It may be a small investment, but it can have a big impact on your overall experience in the water.
