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.

Shape
Co-creation Olaian Ambassadors and Jeremy Smith (Hendaye )
Tail: squash to facilitate pivoting of the board.
Double concave on the rear foot and single concave on the front foot which provides a good compromise between contact with the waves and rail to rail transition.
