The Optic Surfer is a novel sensory activity: a place for visual amazement, wonder, and logical thinking which attract children for a break. There are three different moiré effects and two dichroic panels. The moiré panels fascinate with the patterns that look different from the first glance and the focus required to look at them. Children report that they get curious about the reason for the patterns behaving differently, and not least they debate why not everyone can see the patterns. This makes for negotiation, explaining and helping others out, great training in cooperation and teamwork that supports these skills in school. The dichroic panels intrigue children with their colour changes, highly depending on the surrounding lights. The rainbow colours throw colourful shadows on the ground and light up friends faces with their colour-changing reflections. The optic panels of the Surfer make children wonder, think, and seek explanations for the phenomena they register.

Quality that lasts
<p>Turnable optic panels of two 7mm thick polycarbonate plates with a distance of 40mm. The inside graphic print consist of an inner image layer and outer transparent protection layer. Both PC panel and the water-based lacquer are UV stabilized to prevent fading of the print.</p>
The steel surfaces are hot-dip galvanised inside and outside with lead-free zinc. The galvanisation has excellent corrosion resistance in outside environments and requires low maintenance.
Corocord aluminium clamps are used as connectors between steel posts and rope. Two aluminium castings are bolted together. The height of the clamps is thus variable.
Corocord ropes with 19mm diameter or more are special 'Hercules' - type with galvanized six-stranded steel wires. Each strand is tightly wrapped with PES yarn. The ropes are connected by stainless steel S-Clamps which are pressed around the rope which results in a durable and vandalism solution.
Please note: Dichroic film is a reflective material. As the sun moves around a product, there will be reflections to the environment around, which can be quite bright when the sun is at a certain angle. But as the sun moves, so will the reflections.

The overall framework applied for these factors is the Environmental Product Declaration (EPD), which quantifies "environmental information on the life cycle of a product and enables comparisons between products fulfilling the same function" (ISO, 2006). This follows the structure and applies a Life-Cycle Assessment approach to the entire Product stage, from raw material through manufacturing (A1-A3).
