Champion Shuffleboard revolutionized the industry in 1988 by developing the original "Lifetime Polymer" finish. This coating is applied directly over the Canadian Maple plank to provide a fantastic playing surface that NEVER requires re-finishing.  Just a little care with great Sun-Glo products, and your board will play beautifully for a lifetime.
 
The Grand Champion and the Grand Champion Limited Edition differ in the Cradle.  If you notice that the cradle apron is black on this model, it is because it is a black polymerized resin composite that resists fingerprints and wear and tear.  The Limited Edition has a custom wood cradle apron and you choose the wood and the finish.
