Programme
This hybrid shape with a low rocker allows you to catch the wave very early. If you are still an inexperienced surfer it is better to choose the size above (7') unless you are of very small build. For a seasoned surfer, this is the perfect board for small conditions when you want to make sweeping turns. Lift and ease of handling are its two main qualities.

Benefits of EPS/EPOXY boards
We chose this type of construction for our surfboards, because it offers numerous advantages.
The epoxy resin is more resistant to impacts and dents than polyester resin, which makes the board more hard-wearing.
The board is more reactive and can gather more speed
The EPS foam (expanded polystyrene) floats better, meaning that, for the same volume, you have more buoyancy than with a polyester /polyurethane board.
