DURAFLEX NEW SHORT STAND

Following the tradition of innovation and providing world-class competition diving boards, the all-new Duraflex Short Stand gives divers increased confidence, consistency and performance between diving board stands. The Duraflex Short Stand provides a firm foundation for mounting Duraflex aluminium springboards and consists of a short stand anchor and a fulcrum assembly. The major components are heavy duty aluminium anodized castings. Hard-anodized aluminium hinges mounted to the short stand also provide the attachment points for the Duraflex springboards. 

Through new mechanisms in the fulcrum, there is no longer any slip-stick or ‘breaking the footwheel free’ when adjusting the fulcrum. This allows divers of all ages to adjust the fulcrum to their desired position.

The Short Stand features a new alignment beam that runs between the fulcrum and rear end, ensuring the rear end and the fulcrum are correctly spaced and aligned. This gives a much more consistent feel of the board, giving divers even more confidence as they take off.

Correct installation of diving stands and boards is vital to providing divers the confidence and consistent board they need. In conjunction with the beam for alignment, the shape of the mounting locations has been designed to allow for more flexibility when existing mounting holes in the deck are misaligned. 

Using innovative design and manufacturing processes, the Short Stand is virtually maintenance free. The fulcrum mechanism no longer requires adding grease to ensure optimal use and there are no longer any anti-rattle clamps/roller clamps to adjust. The only routine maintenance is to add oil to the hinges.

Mark Pyatt Duraflex International CEO said: “We are delighted to announce the launch of this new stand. Having worked closely with Divers, Coaches, Pool Facility managers and our global network of Dealers, we have made significant investments in our R&D and production facilities to continue to innovate our products to enable divers to perform dives with ever increasingly technicality. 

During the development of the new Short Stand, we have focused on our sustainability and mitigating our carbon footprint through the use of new construction methods and materials. As a result, we have increased the longevity of our new Short Stand and used fewer parts and materials.”
