THE NEW SURFING CONCEPT

Sharkcoat

New materials, technical evolution of surfboards, and the goal of improving speed are the current reality.

Over the last 20 years, materials, shapes, and board performance have completely changed. Brazilian board manufacturers, SharpEye and Cablanca, supplying boards to World Champions Filipe Toledo and Gabriel Medina, have also become leaders in the global brand ranking. This evolution has created conditions for significant development in maneuvers, surf dynamics, and competitions worldwide. Progressive surfing has transformed the scene by promoting profound evolution and creating a new context for competitions, mainly based on flights and aerials directly linked to speed.

The silver eye of the shark inspired the seal. The sparkle in the shark's eyes will identify the boards. Whoever has Shark Coat on the board has the inspiration, speed, and technology of the most powerful animal of the seas.

One of the most innovative applications of biotechnologies in the world.

BY BASF

Lufthansa Group and BASF are introducing Sharkskin technology across Lufthansa Cargo's entire freighter fleet from 2022. This technology, inspired by shark skin, reduces aerodynamic friction, making aircraft more fuel-efficient and emitting less CO2. The collaboration aims to achieve aviation sustainability goals by promoting ecological innovations. BASF has developed durable functional films for aircraft application, ensuring longevity and easy maintenance. This partnership highlights the commitment to reducing environmental impact and drives aviation towards greater sustainability.
