Our Surfboards
What sets us apart from most surfboard manufacturers, who simply buy their materials, we work with manufacturers to develop the materials we use. This intimate contact we have gained with these materials allows us to get a good understanding of the fundamentals of how they work and we can spot small details that are often overlooked. We are then able to capitalise on these details to make stronger, harder and more durable surfboards.
EPS
EPS Epoxy surfboards have advantages not only in the sea with performance but also in our surf shop in the manufacturing process.
The beauty of having an EPS core compared to PU is that EPS can be broken down and then compacted back together. This allows us to recycle every bit of waste from our blanks and even make boards out of the recycled waste. All our waste is taken back to where it is produced and given a new life, whether it's packaging, building insulation or even into another surfboard blank.
Epoxy
Moving on to the 'shaping' we use a precision shaping CNC machine meaning we can get everything you want from concave to your dims with millimetre precision, reducing the amount of human error. This means once your file is saved with us we will be able to replicate the exact same board over and over again or tweak it if needs be.
Moving from the machine it's finished up by hand, then straight into the laminating room where we are using premium quality fiberglass and aerospace spec carbon fibre to make our Epoxy surfboards light, strong and durable.
Shaping
If we move on to laminating the epoxy surfboards, straight away you notice the epoxy resin we use is a lot more environmentally friendly with a 29% biocarbon content. It also has a lot fewer hazardous chemicals which makes it so much safer to work with. Not only is it safer and better for the environment but it is 4x stronger than PU resin!
This is why we can offer a warranty on every epoxy surfboard!

DURABILTY TEST
In this video, we put our surfboards the test against some 'accidental' damage. First up, we knocked it over a surfboard rack, and after three attempts, it came away almost mark-free! Next, we dropped it the boot of a car onto concrete, resulting in just a couple of scratches. The real nail-biter was when we filmed it sliding off the car roof; surprisingly, it remained watertight with only a minor. Finally, we caught our boss taking a tumble on CCTV—again, just a few little marks, but still in great condition!
