EPS Material Questions

[RocketRV]

Okay, So here's the story. I am checking out a 9'2 RC board. It says "EPS FOAM" on the board. Now I tried reading up on what exactly it is, but I see lots of variations. There is EPS FOAM core with poly fiberglass coat on top, there is EPS Epoxy, EPS coated with epoxy resin. Here is the link. I asked the seller, but he is unsure as well. Also is this a good deal?

In case anyone was following this, thought I'd toss out some closure. He brought it to a shop and they identified it as eps foam core with an epoxy resin top coating topped with a glass layer. BTW is this a good deal for $599? Still looking for some input on that. The few friends that I have that surf dont longboard so they weren't much help when I asked.

Hallo Rocket,
It's a pretty board that has good dimensions and additional bits. But, it is far more $$ than i care to spend. I have that very same bag. I got it new for $48 in Los Angeles. I have the very same fins. I got them for "free" at a surfing movie night raffle in Santa Barbara. (I think $5 got 7 tickets and 5 were winners.)

I've got a wonderful Freeline 9 ft board shaped by John Mel in Santa Cruz. I bought it used for $375 in Santa Cruz and that included good main skeg and side bites and a cheap leash. It's plain white, so it is not as pretty as the blue board you are looking at. (But, it is a John Mel board)

That board you're looking at is described as a double concave nose rider. That will make it cost more than standard longboard. Do you need / are you ready for a nose rider?
