New Diving Board
Our new Duraflex 16′ Modified Maxiflex Model “B” Aluminum Diving Board was installed on August 20th by Devise Diving of Ohio.
You may notice that the fulcrum is temporarily locked via a bike lock. This is due to an issue with the placement of our base, to be addressed in the off-season. Unfortunately, the rubber interface on the new board does not entirely line up with the full travel of the fulcrum. If it were adjusted too far forward, metal-on-metal contact could result in significant damage to the brand new board. By locking the fulcrum, this potential adjustment issue is avoided, and the board remains perfectly safe to use.
Enjoy!
June 2021 Update
Devise Diving returned to the club to re-install the base. While doing this, they installed all new stainless steel anchors, epoxied into the concrete deck. The board height was precisely adjusted, and components on the base were cleaned, replaced and lubricated as necessary. As of June, it is (was) completely tuned up and in full operating condition.
We plan to continue to use Devise to maintain our board seasonally.
