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.
Installing a leash (not included)
Be sure to adjust the length of the string that connects the leash to the plug so that the rail saver (protection strap) is resting on the edge of the board.
Suitability
High-performing longboard in strong waves. Surfs like a smaller board with weight on the back foot. Heavier rocker for more versatility and fewer wipe-outs in hollow waves. Consequently, this board requires stronger paddling than a classic or nose ride longboard. You’ll enjoy an endless possibility of manoeuvres once you’re on the wave.
Protective cover
The board has a Flexi Hex® honeycomb case inside a sturdy box.
This case is reusable in your surfing cover to protect it while transporting.
Construction
Hand-laminated with epoxy resin on an EPS foam pad for added durability and dent resistance.
