How Does Surfboard Thickness Affect Performance?
Surfboard thickness affects flotation, paddling, and turning control. Compare typical thicknesses across different board types and learn how thickness influences overall performance

EPS remains the mainstream foam for surfboards and softboards, while EPP is mainly used in higher-quality bodyboards where impact resistance and durability matter more

A surfboard stringer runs nose to tail, boosting stiffness; various types differ in flex, weight and cost

Surfboard volume in liters indicates flotation and stability, but shape and dimensions also affect performance

4oz, 6oz and S‑glass differ in weight, strength and cost. S‑glass is stronger, not heavier, for premium surfboard builds

Choosing the right EPS density depends on the board’s construction, balancing weight, strength, durability, performance, and cost.
