Regular surfers, ride medium-sized (waist to shoulder height), low-power waves with this 6’4 hybrid resin board.
Suitability
This hybrid shape with a low rocker allows you to catch the wave very early on. If you’re not an experienced rider, it’s best to choose the next size up (7’) unless you’re a small build. For an experienced surfer, this is the ideal board for small conditions when you want to surf sweeping curves. Lift and ease of handling are its 2 main qualities.

What are the advantages of an EPS/EPOXY board?
We chose this type of construction for our surfboards, because it offers numerous advantages.
-The epoxy resin is more resistant to impacts / dents than polyester resin, which makes the board more durable. The board will also be more responsive and capable of generating more speed.
- EPS (expanded polystyrene) foam floats better, so for the same volume you have more buoyancy than a polyester/polyurethane board.
