The 16′ Maxiflex Model B (also known as the “Maxi B”) is the official competition springboard used in all major World Aquatics-sanctioned events, including the Olympics and World Championships. Built from a single-piece extrusion of aircraft-grade Duralaluminum (alloy 6070 T6), it features a double tapered design, torsion box stabilizer ribs, and a perforated tip section to enhance flexibility and reduce drag
Key Specifications:
• Dimensions: 488 cm length × 49.5 cm width; approximately 63 kg• Material: Aluminum (6070 T6), heat-treated for strength and consistent flex• Construction: One-piece ribbed extrusion with 8 stabilizing ribs and a torsion-box design for enhanced rigidity• Tip Ventilation: Slotted perforations at the front section to reduce aerodynamic drag and improve rebound response• Surface Finish: Slip-resistant epoxy laminate incorporating silica and alumina aggregates, thermally cured for durability in wet conditions
Main Features:
• Trusted standard at World Aquatics-sanctioned events worldwide• Lighter weight provides slightly quicker action in the hurdle-step for trained divers• Consistent flex and spring profile across production ensures reliability at competition level• Built for longevity in chlorinated pool environments with corrosion-resistant finishes
