Why Choose Epoxy for Florida Surf?

Float & Paddle Power

The higher buoyancy of EPS foam means you sit higher on the water. Translation: paddle faster, catch more waves.

Speed in Small Surf

The inherent liveliness and quick response of epoxy boards help generate speed even on smaller, less powerful days.

Ding Resistance

Epoxy resin is stronger and more flexible than traditional polyester, making your board more resilient to dings and everyday wear.

Lightweight Agility

A lighter board is easier to turn, whip around, and carry down to the beach.

The Anatomy of an Epoxy Board

Lighter and more buoyant than traditional PU (polyurethane) foam, the EPS core provides the foundational float and responsiveness crucial for modern performance. It's the heart of your board's lively feel.

This tough, flexible resin bonds perfectly with the EPS foam and fiberglass cloth. Epoxy's superior strength-to-weight ratio and resilience offer a significantly more durable board that resists pressure dents and dings more effectively than polyester.

Applied in specific weights and orientations, fiberglass cloth provides the structural integrity and flex pattern. Lawrence carefully selects the cloth weight to balance strength, board feel, and performance characteristics tailored to your surfing style.

Epoxy Myths vs. Reality

Myth:

'Epoxy boards feel chattery and stiff.'

Reality:

Modern hand-shaped epoxy boards have dialed-in flex. Lawrence customizes the glassing and stringer options to achieve the desired ride. The days of overly stiff epoxy boards are long gone; today's designs offer a vibrant, responsive feel.

Myth:

'You can't get a custom shape in epoxy.'

Reality:

Absolutely you can! We shape EPS foam by hand with the same precision as traditional PU blanks. Every curve, rail, and rocker can be precisely tailored to your specifications, ensuring a truly unique, custom epoxy board.

Myth:

'Epoxy boards are bad for the environment.'

Reality:

While no surfboard is 100% eco-friendly, EPS foam is more recyclable than PU, and Lawrence is exploring and utilizing newer bio-resins that significantly reduce the environmental footprint, making epoxy construction a greener choice.

Myth:

'Epoxy boards are only for beginners.'

Reality:

Many professional surfers choose epoxy for its performance characteristics, especially in competition. Its speed and responsiveness are highly valued across all skill levels, from those learning to those pushing the limits.
