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.
Assembly and disassembly of the FCS2 fins
1) ensure that the small side screws are unscrewed.
2) clip the front of the fin into the slot at the front of the box
3) press the back to clip it in
4) To secure the fitting you can screw in the little screws with an FCS-type tool
to dismantle
WARNING: after unscrewing the little screws
The fin needs to be pushed back and forth to unclip it. Protect your hands so you do not injure yourself on the edge.
Packaging
The board has a Flexi Hex® honeycomb case inside a sturdy box.
This case is reusable in your surfing cover to protect it while transporting.
