5'9" X 20" X 2 1/2" hand shaped SL EPS (approx 13 kg/m3), 2x 6oz + 1 X 4oz deck, 1 X 6oz + 1x 4oz bottom. This board is 10 years old, been to the Maldives and the Ments a couple of times, ridden a lot on the sunny coast too.
Barely a dent in the deck !
The light weight EPS absorbs extra resin into the interstitial voids between the closed cells up to 1/2 an inch into the blank. This creates a honeycombed matrix supporting the outer glass layer. I use this construction on all my epoxy boards. No medium or hard density foam, it doesn't have the absorption capacity and remains much softer than this construction method. This board is similar weight to lightweight 4oz PU board.
