What are EPS epoxy surfboards?

EPS epoxy surfboards refer to surfboards that utilize Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) foam as their core material, and are then covered with an epoxy resin. EPS foam is a lightweight, yet strong and buoyant material that is often used as a cost-effective alternative to polyurethane (PU) foam cores.

EPS epoxy surfboards have several advantages. For example, they tend to be lighter than traditional PU surfboards, making them easier to handle and paddle out into the surf. EPS foam also has good impact resistance, so the boards can withstand more collisions without sustaining damage.

The epoxy resin used to cover the EPS foam core is also notable. Epoxy resins are more environmentally friendly than traditional polyester resins, as they emit fewer volatile organic compounds (VOCs) during production. In addition, epoxy resins are more flexible and resistant to dings and scratches, allowing for a longer-lasting finish on the surfboard.

EPS epoxy surfboards provide surfers with a lightweight, durable, and environmentally friendly option for their surfing needs.
