The AxiSeal is an axial seal. A totally different way of sealing from a radial seal, like the conventional stuffingbox or lip-type seal. With a radial seal the sealing rings run directly on the propeller shaft. This often causes wear of the sealing rings and the propeller shaft within a short period. With leakage as result. The AxiSeal seals axial (parallel to the shaft direction). The together with the propeller shaft rotating, self centring Silicon Carbide (SiC) rotary face runs against a Silicon Carbide (SiC) stationary seat. By "lapping" both of these surfaces the right way, a lubricating film is built up during the rotating of the propeller shaft. This results in a very low friction coefficient. This guarantees a long life.
Seals have been developed to operate on propeller shafts of small, medium and large size boats where a high level of reliability is required.
The special design allows large axial displacement and the use of suitable material guarantees as well as high resistance to corrosion and high mechanical resistance to withstand stresses produced by vibrations.
The installation of mechanical seals in this particular field has solved problems such as corrosion during long periods of inactivity and shaft damage caused by traditional stuffing boxes. Power absorption is considerably reduced as well.

The bengale is a double hull surf kayak. Made of linear polyethylene, it's a stable kayak, fest and very conmfortable. Provided with a watertight box at the back, the bengale is ideal for small strips or a more sporting practice like kayak surf.

This board triggered a true revolution in the wave discipline, for perfect or light conditions.
The shape has proven to be even more efficient: its manoeuvrability has never yet been equalled on the market; its capacities for surfing are amazing; its control is incomparable in high winds.
The more one sails on this board, the more one discovers the wideness/diversity of its qualities. Tuned in tri fins the board is explosive, expressing itself in movement demanding action and more action. The Seal is a unique shape, a true innovation enabling riders to pull of three bottom/rollers where a traditional board would only enable one.
Extremely compact, 213cm long for all three volumes, the foot straps are instantly reached in order to realize all jumps wave after wave.
Tuned in single fin the Seal becomes a compact board offering the largest possible range of use. It offers the best control in the highest winds even in the gustiest conditions.
This season we have decided to offer a complete range around the famous 88:
The 74 is dedicated to lighter riders or stronger conditions. When we know that the 88 gets ridden perfectly with a 4.2 it is not difficult to imagine this little Seal in the wildest conditions.
The 102 is a true sailing surf! From 5 knots wind onwards, it will satisfy the bigger riders;
They will have finally found a nervous and reactive board of aver 100 litres! This board offers them the possibility of surfing shorter and faster than with a traditional wave board.
The Seal Concept: speed and extreme surfs, with control and a large range of use.
