WHY EPOXY RATHER THAN FOAM
Epoxy boards are stiffer, lighter and noticeably faster than soft-tops, which is what you want once you are past the pushing-into-whitewater stage and are paddling for unbroken waves yourself. They are also less forgiving on contact, which is why the foam range exists alongside them at a lower price.
The shop keeps sizes from 5ft up to 11ft, so the same rental covers a shortboard for an experienced surfer and a longboard for someone still working on trim.
