EPS???

Postby LovintheSurf » Sat Sep 09, 2006 9:05 pm

So im thinkin about buyin this Rusy EPS board. Now i know that this means the board is practically waterproof and the board is lighter. But i was wonderin does it ride differently than a standard epoxy board? Feel different in the water? Is harder to ride? i dont know

can someone fill me in? thanks :D

I have heard that they feel rigid, tend to float too high in the water and are hard on the bottom of your feet.

but i have never tried, i would like to

there ment to be lighter, stronger and more buoyant

that sounds good

lol no i didnt mean waterproof like that i mean like. If you drill a hole in an EPS board and then go out and surf, your board would only soak up a tiny tiny bit of water, as opposed with a regular board u would have to get out of the water as soon as possible cause it would just waterlog the board
