how much u want to spend ? epoxy boards usually cost more (unless fiberglass is custom shaped) & r much more durable & lighter than fiberglass. u can find used fiberglass longboards usually at yard sales ,cheap. fiberglass boards r usually a little heavier, depending on the type of glass on them ( 6oz or 10oz.) also, l find fiberglass easier to repair than epoxy. plus there nothing better than gettin an old school longboard dirt cheap, fixin it up & catchin some good waves with it. beats droppin 800 for a new one any day !

It is a matter of opinion. Fiberglass boards are heavier, but more sensitive. You can feel the response. Epoxy boards are lighter and more buoyant and may feel a bit awkward to the surfer. Not all epoxy boards are machine made. Some builders still make them by hand. Epoxy is stronger, but not indestructible. My opinion: hand made fiberglass. Post in you question, or email with the boards you were considering and l will be happy to advise you.

l like fiber glass because it has just a better feel to it and it has a stringer. epoxys are hard to wax and just dont feel right
