board construction
 

starboard say

"A combination of a wood spine with ultra light, flat-weave carbon. The first board construction in the World to utilize an ultra light carbon fibre that is flat-weaved and unidirectional for total mechanical efficiency. The unidirectional flat-weave fibre generates equal tensile strength as biaxial or woven carbon fibre, yet at half the specific weight"

what is first in the world about this? is it a special type of carbon? what is the difference between it and other types of UD carbon?
