There are two different types of surf boards there is the traditional fiber glass boards and the newer epoxy boards. Fiber glass boards are hand shaped and hand glassed. Fiberglass boards allow you the option to customize everything from the length, thickness, wideness, fin placement, paint job, and tail type. The main shapers on the north shore are Pyzel and Shaper.
Epoxy boards are made by machines. They are a little bit stronger and giver you more floatation with less weight. So if you’re planning on dinging your board a lot I would go with epoxy boards. I have tried both types of boards and personally I like fiber glass boards better than epoxy but its more but hey its your money so get the type of board that you like better. If you are unsure and want to try the boards before you spend a month’s paycheck you can test out different boards at surf and sea in Haleiwa.
