Shawn Alladio of K38 Water Safety has the experience to know the criteria for the best rescue board and this K38 board is made specifically to Shawn's specifications.
At 38 lbs., the K38Board is a breeze for one person to carry and it takes less than a minute to hook up.
Specifications
Model: SL1
Dimensions: 62" x 36" x 4.5"
Displacement: 6.4 ft3
Weight: 38 lbs.
Board Features
• Bullet-nose allows 45° fish-tail pivot off personal watercraft transom.
• Highly maneuverable. Barely affects low-speed motoring while increasing overall stability of craft.
• Replaceable nose-guard protects nose of sled and personal watercraft transom from wear.
• 70/30 rails allow sufficient tracking for stability while still allowing driver to "break-loose" for quick turns.
• Overall length sufficient for comfort and security, yet short enough for maneuverability.
• Swallow-tail design allows for victim centering.
• Design allows sled to be folded over jet-ski when not in use.
Non-Invasive Hookup
• Conveniently attaches K38Board to most any PWC without cumbersome rigging or drilling holes.
• Severe-duty 3-point hook up system: Central tow via internal 5/16" 316 SS pad-eye
• Two lateral shock-cord stabilizers. Lateral stabilizers are composed of double loop 1/2" marine-grade shock-cord. (Each loop 580 lb. tensile).
• Simple, clean anchor points - no lines, clips or extraneous material to pinch, snag or tangle.
• High wear parts are replaceable and inexpensive.
• Large area load displacement minimizes stress on tow components.
Hull Material
• Proprietary weatherable copolymer.
• Highly impact resistant.
• Will not heat-warp in intense sun.
• Extreme compressive strength gives resistance to folding or creasing.
• Flexibility even in freezing temperatures.
• UV-stable (colorfast and weatherable).
• Extreme abrasion resistance.
• Easily mended.
• High-visibility "COAST GUARD ORANGE."
• Linear, low density, closed-cell polyethylene foam reinforced with aluminum and stainless steel stringers.
• Two 48" aluminum stringers and one 24" stainless steel stringer assure tip-to-tail integrity, especially over transom fulcrum.
• Compare this to "boogie-board material" boards.
• Highly buoyant (over 450 lbs deadweight buoyancy), even in freshwater (compare this to molded boards).
• Not brittle in cold water; excellent for ice-rescue board.
• Absorbs vibration while underway (compare this to molded boards).
Deck Material
• Fine cell polyethylene.
• Aesthetics (bright color, fine cell structure).
• Abrasion resistant.
• Tacky when wet.
• Comfortable.
• High visibility yellow.
• UV-stable: colorfast and weatherable.
• Fiber-reinforced, tacky-when-wet (ten handles - each 9.5").
• Handles anchored internally - virgin hull. Compare with other sleds looped through the hull.
• Flexible: allows victim to be hoisted over, yet still firm enough to fence-in.
• UV- and weather-resistant.
