Materials Used in Soft Top Surfboards
Soft top surfboards are constructed from a foam core, usually made from either expanded polystyrene (EPS) or extruded polystyrene (XPS).
EPS boards tend to be lighter weight than XPS boards and offer more buoyancy, making them great for novice surfers.XPS boards offer superior durability and strength compared to their EPS counterparts.
The deck of the board is then finished with a waterproof coating to help repel water and increase the lifespan of the board. Soft top surfboards provide excellent value when compared to their hard top counterparts and can be an ideal option for those just starting out in surfing.
