Surfboard Resin
The resin is used to impregnate the fiberglass, providing rigidity and mechanical strength. The polyester resins we offer are specially formulated for the surf industry to ensure good UV stability and achieve a perfectly white surfboard. Polyester resins are the most commonly used in the surf industry due to their good cost-to-mechanical strength ratio and ease of use. Epoxy resins are reserved for high-end boards, offering superior mechanical properties but at a higher cost.
