Material innovations have enabled us to create the Ocean, the first adult level composite with ZERO Carbon. In this environmentally friendly world the Ocean represents a true innovation, with Carbon being replaced by a totally new material. Basalt rock exists at the bottom of the Caspian Sea and is then imported by our exclusive manufacturing facility. The Basalt Rock is melted at very high temperature and fibres are drawn from this molten lava and spun to create the material from which Basalt layers are formed. Basalt is as strong as carbon but is much easier to handle. It represents a more "friendly" material to the factory workers and gives even better performance characteristics than Carbon. The Ocean has a fibreglass skeleton overlaid with Basalt and Kevlar to create great performance characteristics, with extra reinforcement applied at specific pressure points.
