The Silent series of the King Size model (yet more to be documented) have fine felt playing surface. The Silent series are softer on the dice (tumbling is a little less - hence silent.) Checkers slide quite well. Paints on the points give strong friction to checkers and keep checkers on the point. If you are in a customization procedure (costs 10% of a ready made board) we can talk this and other things at length and have my advice.
Otherwise,
You can see more about playing surfaces at http://gammoncity.com/SurfaceGA.htm
The Silent series have comparatively expensive English felt and would cost 50 EURO plus freight. Changing surface of a Svilo board is not that difficult, but in my view, needs an experienced craftsman.
