Expoxy or fiberglass surfboard?

Question

whats a better longboard made out of?

Answer 1

dude i would go with a fiberglass one they are waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better

Answer 2

It's a matter of opinion. Fiberglass boards are heavier, but more sensitive. You can feel the response. Epoxy boards are lighter and more buoyant and may feel a bit awkward to the surfer. Not all epoxy boards are machine made. Some builders still make them by hand. Epoxy is stronger, but not indestructible. My opinion: hand made fiberglass. Post in you question, or email with the boards you were considering and I'll be happy to advise you.

Answer 4

how much you want to spend ? epoxy boards usually cost more (unless fiberglass is custom shaped) and are much more durable and lighter than fiberglass. you can find  used fiberglass longboards usually at yard sales ,cheap. fiberglass boards are usually a little heavier, depending on the type of glass on them ( 6oz or 10oz.) also, i find fiberglass easier to repair than epoxy. plus there nothing better than gettin an old school longboard dirt cheap, fixin it up and catchin some good waves with it. beats droppin 800 for a new one any day !

Answer 5

Answer 6

most of your better boards are made out of fiberglass

Answer 7

i like fiber glass because it has just a better feel to it and it has a stringer. epoxys are hard to wax and just dont feel right
