Continue offers five types of surfboard construction
PU/PE Consists of a polyurethane foam core and plywood stringer that’s encapsulated in a fiberglass and polyester resin shell. These traditional materials produce favorable flex attributes and handling characteristics.
PU/E Consists of a polyurethane foam core and plywood stringer that’s encapsulated in a fiberglass and epoxy resin shell. This construction is lighter than PU/PE and has improved resistance to damage.
EPS Consists of an expanded polystyrene foam core that’s encapsulated in fiberglass and epoxy resin. This format is noticeably lighter and more buoyant than both PU/PE and PU/E, with greater resistance to damage.
EPS/P Consists of an expanded polystyrene foam core and plywood stringer that’s encapsulated in a fiberglass and epoxy resin shell. This construction combines the durability and weight attributes of EPS with the flex characteristics of a wood stringer board.
EPS/C Consists of an expanded polystyrene foam core and carbon fiber reinforcements, that are encapsulated in a fiberglass and epoxy resin shell. This produces a very light and buoyant surfboard with riding characteristic that are completely unique to the construction method. The amount of flex and overall feel is determined by the specific application of fiberglass and carbon materials. This is a technically advanced build process that produces a very strong and performance oriented surfboard.
