I've gone almost 100% to building EPS core (2 pound)/epoxy resins for the past few years for environmental and longevity reasons. I recycle all my EPS scraps; just took a load in yesterday. Epoxy has almost no VOCs. EPS/epoxy boards hardly dent. Built a 2 pound EPS/4,4x4 glassing test board and beat the snot out of it. No dents at all and I'm not a light footed surfer. And EPS/epoxy boards have a very long life. There are downsides to EPS/epoxy: (1) doesn't polish out to a new car shiny, (2) coloring the board is limited (e.g. resin tints do not turn out well; opaque pigments OK), (3) need to put a breather into the board to let out air/water vapor pressure to keep the board from delaminating. But at least one supplied has a great Gore-Tex valved leash plug that allows air to pass but not liquid water. It works great. The pretty, art-like boards you see are all PU foam/PE resins because it works better for art and color. But it's environmentally rough and those boards will not last as long, with all other things equal.
This video is great... I love the simplicity and the breakdown is very educational. I am a visual learner and the animation is excellent. Thank you for putting these types of videos together for us surfers to learn more about surfboards and surfing. Cheers!!!
It’s our pleasure Surf n Show! Thanks for watching. I’ve just put the finishing touches to Fridays episode too, it’s covering longboard outlines, particularly the differences between wide point locations.
I've seen a few 3D printed boards out there. I think I'm going to have a go at it. Boards are too expensive in Canada and I have a lot of unused plastic. Looking forward to the hollow construction video
So is epoxy pretty much stronger and more durable than a polyester resin board? Does it last longer as well? Thank you for the video by the way, it was super helpful!
Inacreditável. Antes de pedir pra torcida ir ao estádio, peçam para os jogadores entrarem em campo. Com o ingresso nesse preço não vai lotar estádio nunca...
Any suggestions for a layup for a high performance shortboard that is optimal for light weight and durability including less pressure denting? Let’s say your options of cloth are carbon, e-glass and s-glass in 4 and 6 oz options…
7:00 is not easy, Epoxy is easier. 7:25 You can use Polyester resin on EPS. As long you seal it. Solarez sells a sealer. Also you can seal it nicely with a coat of Epoxy and can take Polyester afterwards, which is stupid because is like wearing a hat over a hat. I use what I have and to $ave though. But if used directly to the EPS foam, then use only Epoxy resin. You forgot to mention the need of venting the EPS foam regardless the density. It always off-gas, the hotter the ambient the worst. PU absorbs less water than EPS when an open ding is exposed.
Thats a fantastic question Yehuda which i attempted to research but could find any specific information on, sorry! My guess would be that 1 layer of 12oz should be as the chemical bond between 2 layers of 6 oz might be considered a weaker point than a single layer. But that is just a guess!

This video series is so helpful! Keep it up!
Glad you think so!
you covered everything that there is to know and you didnt take up much of my time, perfect!
I consider that to be the perfect compliment. Thanks Abizoman!
@@SurfSimply honestly I was just about to comment the same exact thing. Perfect video, nothing could have been explained and showed better 💯💯💯
Best surfboard build explanation on RUclips. Big thanks!
He missed a few things. Read my comment.
This one is super cool... awesome to know the differences
This video was awesome! Thanks for dropping the knowledge bombs!
Amazing series! concise but thorough explanation 👍
Glad you enjoyed it MeLeeson!
Great job Will. I love these videos!
Thanks Jim!
awesome, thanks for the video!

Print them and send us some prototypes Jesse!

I got a 6oz and 4oz on deck, double 6oz on bottom, in a light 1lbs (EPS), its is at 8lbs for a 6,7 board with huge volume at 44 liters.

I am using XPS foam and want to float a gold dredge, I need your help

Do you have a video that explains what makes the best noserider surfboard?
Hi Edan, yes there is one that discusses longboard outlines in the series. Thanks for watching!

gracias amigo !
great, keep it up!!
Thank you Luis!
Very interesting
Glad you think so!
cool one !!
Glad to hear it Tony!
👍
Are 2 layers of 6 oz stronger than 1 layer of 12 oz?

@@SurfSimply 2 X 6 is stronger than 1 X 12 everytime. Think of it like rope - small ropes entwined together. 3 X 4 ounce even stronger.
Yeap!
can you go through lib tech construction in the next vid?
Woaaaaaaaaaaaah lol way cool
Thanks Rach!
nice
Thanks Jose!
hello there,always amazing contents.But what does "some tenth of a litre" mean?
i assumed it means "roughly 1L/10", so something around 100mL, which seems reasonable to me for a pressure ding.
Am I first?... Nice!
Yes you are!
like 97% of people on this world i only understand metric system :/ sorry guys
Don’t be sorry, it is the surf industry’s units, not ours! Thanks for watching Arthur, I hope you found other bits interesting.
you picked the wrong channel name lol
