epoxy for beginner?

I am surfing on a 7-9 bic. I really had a great session today! I am catching every foam wave. I even started to actually catch small waves before they broke! Should I just stay with my board? I was considering a heritage foam board. Would It be easier to learn to catch a wave on a foam board or should I just keep practicing on my bic? What about an epoxy board what are they all about? Are they good for beginners?
Thanks
