Building A Better Surfboard

Surfrider Foundation’s website.

Surfrider Foundation CEO Jim Moriarty has a great series of posts up on his blog about having a “better” surfboard built for him.  He explains what he means by “better”.  For the board, he used Marko EPS foam blank, had it shaped locally and for his use, and had it glassed with Entropy Resins’ “Super Sap” bio-based epoxy resin.

Our buddies over at Sustainable Surf’s Waste to Waves program have a great breakdown on the series.

Jim’s last post on glassing is especially interesting for those looking to geek out on board resins and tensile strength.

Speaking of Jim Moriarty’s blog, his posts over at The Intertia are especially prescient for those interested in current issues plaguing our oceans.
