SRS 14' Commercial Frontier III Board, White & Marine Blue

The S.R. Smith 14-Foot Commercial Frontier III Diving Board in White (Part Number 66-209-614-2) and Marine Blue (Part Number 66-209-614S3) is an extra-long commercial fiberglass-reinforced springboard engineered for competitive training wells, municipal facilities, high school aquatic centers, and resort complexes requiring extended forward pool-overhang and enhanced flex dynamics.

At 14 feet, this board provides a significantly softer, more progressive spring flex and increased mechanical leverage compared to 10-foot and 12-foot models, while retaining S.R. Smith’s commercial-grade fiberglass-encapsulated wood core construction.

Construction & Material Architecture

• Internal Laminated Wood Core: Multi-ply laminated Douglas fir and select composite wood beam core running the entire 14-foot length to evenly distribute high flexural bending moments and prevent cycle-fatigue fractures.

• Fiberglass Roving Encapsulation: Heavy-gauge multi-layer fiberglass roving vacuum-infused with premium polyester resin, forming an impermeable structural barrier that isolates the wood core from moisture, chemical water absorption, delamination, and fungal rot.

• Non-Slip Surface Tread:

  • White Model (66-209-614-2): Integral white textured aggregate tread molded directly into the commercial acrylic gelcoat.

  • Marine Blue Model (66-209-614S3): Deep marine blue gelcoat body with matching non-slip aggregate traction profile.

• Chemical & UV Stability: Formulated with high-grade UV inhibitors and chemical-resistant outer resins to resist sun bleaching, surface chalking, chloramine fog hazing, and acid-wash splashes.

Dimensional & Mounting Specifications

• Nominal Length: 14'-0" (168 inches / approx. 4.27 m).

• Nominal Width: 18 inches (approx. 45.7 cm).

• Profile / Taper: Progressive thickness taper (approx. 1.5" thickness at the tip increasing to 2.50"–2.75" through the fulcrum contact zone) engineered for 14-foot spring mechanics.

• Mounting Configuration: Standard commercial 2-hole rear butt-end pattern:

  • Hole Center-to-Center Spacing: 12 inches (30.5 cm).

  • Hole Diameter: Pre-drilled for 1/2" diameter heavy-duty commercial mounting bolts.

• Specified Fulcrum Setting (Critical): Must be installed with the fulcrum positioned strictly within the manufacturer-calibrated range—centered 72 to 76 inches (nominally 74 inches) forward from the center of the rear mounting holes. Deviation alters spring stiffness, risks laminate shear failure, and voids manufacturer warranties.

• Duty Rating: Commercial recreational classification; maximum single-diver weight capacity of 250 lbs (113.4 kg) under standard commercial aquatic codes.

Stand Compatibility & Fulcrum Requirements

• Compatible Stands: Engineered for commercial cantilever frames, steel pedestal stands, U-frame bases, and meter stands specifically configured and spaced for 14-foot boards (e.g., S.R. Smith Steel Meter Stands, Frontier II/III commercial frames, and Econoline 14' stands).

• Fulcrum Protection: Requires a heavy-duty rubber fulcrum pad (1.90" to 2.375" OD rubber sleeve or clamp-on elastomer pad) secured over the stand fulcrum bar to absorb cyclic impact energy and eliminate fiberglass cracking.

Weight and Logistics Profile

• Net Unit Weight: Approximately 82 to 95 lbs (approx. 37.2 to 43.1 kg).

• Packaged Dimensions: Heavy-duty reinforced corrugated shipping sleeve measuring approximately 170" L × 20" W × 4" H (approx. 432 cm × 51 cm × 10 cm).

• Packaged Shipping Weight: Approximately 100 to 115 lbs (approx. 45.4 to 52.2 kg).

• Freight Classification & Logistics: Ships exclusively via LTL Freight (NMFC Class 70 to 85). Because crate length exceeds 14 feet, carriers mandate specialized overlength handling and liftgate/flatbed commercial delivery protocols.
