Secondly, the surfboard starts to discolor, delaminate, and if you let it go on for long enough, rot . Eventually the water logging will force you to get a buy a replacement. Epoxy surfboards are nice and durable so this won't ever be a day to day concern for you like it would be in a traditional glass board.

* Cost a little more. An epoxy board may cost a bit more, depending on where you get it. However, once you factor in the life of the surfboard as opposed to getting a new surfboard every year or so, the extra couple of bucks doesn't seem like such a big deal. When you slap your new epoxy surfboard on a pile of rocks and it just bounces off like nothing happened, you'll be happy you pitched in a little extra. * Lighter. Some experienced surfers do not like the added buoyancy and lightness of the epoxy surfboards. This is personal taste, and for those newer to the sport the lighter weight is actually a bonus to start with. * New technology. There are plenty of surfers out there who prefer traditional boards and traditional methods. This again comes down to personal preference. * Often machine shaped. Epoxy surfboards are generally machine shaped, which means that if you want custom designs or specific requirements it will cost you more. This is usually not a problem for less experienced surfers who are still developing their surfboard preferences. * Difficult to repair. If you should be unlucky enough to significantly damage an epoxy surfboard you will find that they are tougher to repair. However, any GOOD surf repair shop should be able to repair it without a problem. (you can use epoxy Solarez for minor repairs) * Less responsible surfing. This can be a big issue for new surfers and selfish individuals. Riding a surfboard when others around is always a responsibility. You have a moral obligation to ensure that your surfboard, no matter what it is made from, does not bang into other people. Epoxy may be indestructible but the other person's head isn't. Just because your surfboard may not be destroyed on the rocks does not mean you can release it like a water missile. You should care for your epoxy surfboard with as much respect as a traditional fiberglass board.
