BOARD ANATOMY

OVERVIEW A surfboards overall shape is determined by the boards dimensions.Β  It’s length, width and thickness will affect the boards buoyancy where rocker or the board curve will affect the way it paddles and reacts on the waves face. A surfboards dimension uses the following 6 measurements:Β  Length:Β the measurement from the nose to the tai...

BOARD CONSTRUCTION

FOAM BLANK All surfboards utilise an inner foam core in order to ensure the end product has sufficient buoyancy. Foam cores are shaped and refined from a foam blank and made of two foam types: Polyurethane Polystyrene Today, the most common forms of foam are Polystyrene: Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) and Extruded Polystyrene (XPS). These foam bl...
