What is Black C.A.T?

Black C.A.T. (Carbon Applied Technology) is Surfboard Factory Hawaii’s latest construction, designed to improve flexibility and performance. Using a hand-laminated process with carbon-infused resin. Instead of two layers, the board uses a single layer of cloth on the deck. The result? A board that flexes, snaps back, and keeps a familiar feel underfoot while maintaining durability.

Available in PU and EPS/Epoxy, Black C.A.T. can be custom ordered on any model. Built for surfers looking to push their performance further, Black C.A.T. delivers more flex than traditional full carbon fiber cloth boards. Quick, responsive, and agile – it’s performance with C.A.T. like precision.
