Is noseriding and turning an epoxy as easy/as fun as on a fiberglass board?

Question

Im going to buy a 9'0-9'3 board and wanna know which is better. i know epoxy is stiffer, stronger, and more bouyant. im not sure which is better though in the long run

Answer 1

go with gloss finished fiber glass. epoxy boards are hard to fix if it dings or gets a hole. fiber glass will turn better

Answer 2

if you tend to ding boards a lot go with epoxy becuase they are  harder to ding making you have less repairs, so epoxy being harder to repair doesnt really matter cuase you hardly need to repair it unless you really mess it up. but everyone tends to buy fiberglass becuase epoxys are shaped for a general population.  you can get fiberglass boards made exaclty to your weight and specifications, therefore making it easier/fun to surf.  if you are not a kook that still hits poeple/things it is better to invest in a custom board that will suite you the best.

Answer 3

kind of with an epoxy u don't have to go to the back of the board, but u should get a fiberglass just got a epoxy longboard gets dings and stuff easy easy to bust holes and stuff with epoxy, fiberglass are easyer to ride the nose heavery  so they don't just pearl right away

Answer 4

im a short boarder but i whould think because the epoxy is so light you whould not have as smoth a ride it whould chadder i whould go with glass for noseriding

Answer 5

Mmm i shortboard and i have both epoxy and fiberglass on an epoxy its kinda harder to dig the rails in to get a tight arc going on a cut back since its soo bouyant, but fiberglass boards are easily fixed if you happen to crack it you can still surf on it for a couple more waves, but if you crack an epoxy you have to get out of the water right away
