The advantages of EPS/EPOXY boards

We chose this type of construction for our surfboards, because it offers numerous advantages.

The epoxy resin is more resistant to impacts and dents than polyester resin, which makes the board more hard-wearing.

The board is more reactive and can gather more speed

The EPS foam (expanded polystyrene) floats better, meaning that, for the same volume, you have more buoyancy than with a polyester /polyurethane board.
