Technology has made surfboard shaping a very progressive craft. The program uses software akin to the type architects and engineers use to design buildings and airplanes. With DSD, Elton can choose from a large bank of original templates and then modify the shapes to fit a rider's specific needs and the surfboard is carved in twenty to thirty minutes. |

FCS (Fin Control System) has, revolutionized surf travel and provided greater freedom in experimentation with fin size and fin number. No other system has the coverage and penetration thatFCS affords. PCS is continually experimenting with research and development, in order to advance fin and plug technologies and remain the leader of removable fin systems. Four of the last five Men's Championship surfers ride FCS. |
| There are many elements to the incredibly extensive research and development that goes down in order for Bilt to stay at the very top of their game and ahead of the veritable surfing pack. Davey is one of the most skilled and technically advanced surfers in the world, and the time and effort that he puts into WQS and World Tour events are ploughed back into the surfboard designs that he and Elton work on together. Davey's dedicated demeanour and his continual pursuit of excellence are the traits which he invests into Bilt's Research and Development. | Elton does the groundwork of all the new materials used in the construction of surfboards, always striving to find lighter and stronger materials, and the two of them, fused together with Jason's research into the extreme board side of things, are solidifying and cementing the reputation of continual advancement that Bilt already enjoys. The input from surfers like Damien Fahrenfort and Dan Redman also form a vital and integral part of this process, and their valuable input is added to the fusion of skills that make Bilt an ongoing success. |
