The miss information in this video makes me so uncomfortable
You can learn more about it on woodprix website I think.
This video is an excellent
example for anyone who would like to apply for this guy's job.
Why the hell did you even make this video? There are shapers everywhere custom making epoxy boards from blanks. You could have pointed out the different types of epoxy boards… Ah fuck it. Shit video. Misleading video.
first the title should be polyester vs epoxy board , both resin are using fiberglass or else ( could be carbon , different type of glass). Blank are different depeding the resin you will be using.
The misinformation on this video is staggering.
Not only is this video very innacurate, everyone is now dumber for having watched this video. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
ive learned alot
Didn't help me at all.
i have the same dan taylor as in the vid
I want to surf but i live in malaysia 🙁
Do some research people they both use fiberglass cloth, they use different resins epoxy/poly.
poly is cheaper, easier to fix. Epoxy is lighter,stronger but more expensive and harder to fix.
The pros and cons are endless in the end majority of shops in wilm nc are full of kooks.
Plz help what board is the epoxy one?
My Bruce Jones is epoxy and it was handshaped
does anybody know anything about Ozone surfboards ? I have a 8'2 X 22" foam/glass and it is sweet. I think it may be a rare board, I can't find anything about it anywhere ?
what a dummy, this guy doesn't know JACK about boards,
Is this the best "expert" you could find???
the way to go is definitely hand shaped epoxy… I have a Rusty Slayer 5'10" in epoxy/eps and it rides like any other polyester/pu boards out there, it turns on a dime and handles size just like a poly board would. so it all depends on the quality of the board and the dimensions, if you like a poly board, but want the epoxy durability, order it a little bit thinner and you should be living the dream. Rusty is great at this, bear in mind i'm not sponsored by or work for Rusty. I'm just a client.
I had 6'2" epoxy and fibreglass boards which were near identical. Always felt like the epoxy went slower and also the fins were specific to the board, and were poor quality (bottom turns were poor)-left my epoxy in the azores for when I go there, but I would never by an epoxy for my regular board. There is a good reason that these more durable and often cheaper boards are not dominating the market
there lots of variation on the epoxy/fibreglass boards now (e.g. fibreglass sandwiched in epoxy)
Fibreglass vs. Epoxy?.. It's fibreglass in the epoxy as well..
@advenger32 buy a shortboard, longboarding is wayyyy more slow and mellow. shortboards allow you to rip up the wave and and the amount of tricks you can do on a shortboard far exceeds any longboard out there. just take the time and learn on a shortboard and you wont have to try and sell your used longboard when youre bored with it!
what the difference in a regular surfboard and a longboard surfboard? that makes sence right?
Hey. Do you guys think the biscuit would be a good choice. In epoxy.
stop saying ummm…..
ummm umm ummm ummm…. -.-
Chris I hope you guys dont have this dude sellin boards!!! Epoxy doesnt mean popout!!! He is definatly a barney!!!
Yeah i am going to get an Epoxy…
Customs are too easily damaged and cracked; epoxy are much more hardwearing, especially as it will be my first shortboard; gunna get a 6'6 NXR epoxy
what's he talking about???? epoxy is lighter, stronger, doesn't smell when working it, this guy is on drugs. Give me an eps with epoxy any day. Flex??? what flex.
fibergalss kicks ass!!!
:]Sahh-weet!
I already got a surfboard.
xD
But lucky me! I got a 7"0 board(:
😀
Thanks!
how old is this video? Those old pop-out type epoxies are still around because of their durability for travelers, but hand shaped eps epoxy boards are pretty much standard now
