MSL construction (Monocoque Structural Laminate) is a type of construction used in inflatable stand-up paddleboards (iSUPs) and other inflatable watercraft. It involves fusing the top and bottom layers of the board's PVC material together to create a single, solid piece. In MSL construction, the drop-stitch material that forms the internal structure of the board is sandwiched between two layers of PVC material, and then bonded to the outer shell using a heat-welding process. This creates a board that is lighter, stiffer, and more durable than traditional inflatable boards, which are typically constructed using glued layers of PVC material.
MISSION only uses MSL+ construction because we are committed to using the best methods for producing our products. MSL+ construction offers even greater strength and rigidity compared to standard MSL construction, making it ideal for producing high-quality inflatable watercraft.
