The Surfboard Construction review with Noel Salas
This review compares five shortboard constructions (PU, EPS, Flex Bar, XTR, Varial) to detail the differences in flex, durability, and cost for optimal performance.
Construction and materials
Comparative guides on surfboard building components (PU vs. EPS/Epoxy), explaining how materials influence dampness, durability, weight, and flex.

Understand surfboard core materials: compare the strength, weight, cost, and environmental impact of standard PU/Poly and lighter, stiffer EPS/Epoxy construction.
The EPS vs. PU Surfboard Test
A side-by-side test compares PU vs. EPS construction in wave pool and ocean settings, revealing how the stiffer EPS offers bounce while the softer PU provides connected control.
Poly VS Epoxy Resin – Which is better?
Compare Poly (PU) and Epoxy resins: Poly cures faster and is cheaper but is more brittle; Epoxy is more durable, flexible, and less toxic but requires more cure time.
