This morning our mold makers sent us these photos of the top part of the cast aluminum rotational mold for the Wavewalk\u00ae Series 4 (S4).<\/p>\n

Next part they’ll cast in aluminum is the bottom of the mold.<\/p>\n

After that, the two parts will be polished and finished, and mounted in a steel frame that will enable attaching the mold to the rotational molding machine.<\/p>\n

The last step before the mold is ready for boat production is coating its inside with Teflon.<\/p>\n

We’re happy about this opportunity to make our logo more visible.<\/p>\n
