Epoxy surfboards have many advantages over regular(polyester) boards. They are
stronger, lighter and have more buoyancy. In addition, they last longer and are more
environmentally friendly in terms of their construction.
While there were some complaints about the lack of flex in the earliest models, most
modern epoxy boards are incorporating design elements to add flex.
Epoxy surfboards use
epoxy resin instead of polyester resin during the lamination process. Most use
styrofoam instead of polyrethane foam.

One thing to remember about about epoxy surfboards is that you can't use most standard ding repair resins. Make sure you get one that says "epoxy" repair so that you actually fix your surfboard instead of making it worse.
