E-Comp : Epoxy-COMPosite

Accurate reproduction of quality shapes

Unbeatable durability

Light weight and Stiff

Proven Epoxy Technology

The last 5 years have seen many changes in surfboard manufacturing. No longer is a regular polyester foam and fibreglass regarded as the only way to make a board. Nowadays surfers are able to enjoy a much wider variety of new and innovative methods of surfboard construction that provide much improved durability without extra weight. BIC Sport has been at the forefront of epoxy technology for more than 10 years, longer than any other surfboard manufacturer and was the first to develop a full range of epoxy composite surfboards.

BIC Sport’s E-Comp (Epoxy Composite) construction technique produces a board that is approximately 30% more durable while being almost identical with regard to stiffness and weight when compared to a similar polyester constructed surfboard. To accommodate the needs of more advanced surfers, E-Comp surfboards provide shapes that not only suit the intermediate surfer, but also experienced riders who know how to ride a surfboard. 

The process forms the top and bottom - (ASA) surfaces of the board over aluminium moulds. These formed surfaces are then pressed over a pre-shaped, lightweight EPS foam core, (the lightest surfboard foam available) which is covered in 6-oz fibre glass cloth and epoxy resin to give the board strength.

This construction provides an extremely stiff, lightweight surfboard that is approximately 30% more durable than a standard polyester surfboard but almost identical with regard to its flex characteristics and weight.
