Carbon Fiber Stringers - Never Summer Factory Video

Hey Guys!

I'm wondering - after searching unsuccessfully for a long time, does anyone know what the carbon fiber "stringer sheets" they use in the never summer factory tour video are called or where to get them? They have these perfectly spaced, narrow, carbon fiber stringers that appear to be held together with some sort of light binder that they can just tear apart and put wherever for directional stiffening. I've spent hours searching and came across carbon fiber tapes, tows, sheets, etc. but I really like the way they have those nicely pre-spaced out CF threads they can just tear apart.

This one at about 20 minutes in: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cVpL_-uJfs8

Thanks!

This stuff is often called fused carbon. If you google it, you will find a number of surfboard shaping suppliers selling this stuff. If you want to buy larger quantities, it might be worthwhile to get in touch with Colan Australia as they are a reliable producer of this type of carbon.

Nice links sammer thanks!

I'll probably be ordering couple meter lengths of various types of material until I have a good idea of what I like most before going for a large volume order.
