Design & Engineering Process
SureShade operates out of its design and manufacturing headquarters in Philadelphia, PA. Here, the company designs, tests and manufactures its sunshade product lines using cutting-edge engineering software and state-of-the-art CNC manufacturing equipment.
SureShade's flexible design philosophy and controlled manufacturing approach gives clients the ultimate choice when integrating the SureShade system with any new or existing boat design.
Ron Russikoff, SureShade's inventor and company co-founder, has twenty years of marine fabrication and mechanical engineering experience.
It is this unique combination of extensive engineering and manufacturing expertise and marine canvas craftsmanship that has resulted in the unprecedented opportunity to revolutionize the boating industry with ground-breaking shade products that will provide the ultimate convenience in shade protection to boaters.
With such distinctive features as self-supported framework, push-button or hand-operated extension and retraction, and versatile mounting options for virtually any boat, SureShade products enhance the boating experience and give boat builders and dealers a value-added option for their clients.
SureShade works closely with the new product development and engineering teams of boat builders on placement designs that best harmonize with the boat’s overall appeal. All SureShade products are designed to serve as a natural extension of the boat and ensure that installation at the factory or dealer level is relatively easy.
Only SureShade has a patented telescoping framework technology that allows boat shade tops to extend and retract with no support poles to interfere with boating activities. It is this tele-frame technology that makes SureShade robust and durable in harsh marine environments.
Designed to accommodate the unique curves of a boat, the arched roller component serves as part of the self-supported retractable sunshade system by SureShade. The curvature of the arched roller system complements the curves of a boat’s overhead structure – such as a radar arch or hardtop – enhancing boat aesthetics and acting as a natural extension of the boat design.
