Can someone help me understand board construction before I purchase my next board? I have two boards currently. The first is a 2021 JP Australia, X foil. I love this board, but the outside seems to be as fragile as an egg shell. It occasionally gets small dings, even though I baby the board. Online I see it is a high density PVC sandwich construction. This is supposed to be very durable.
My second board is a Quatro Wing drifter I bought used. I think it is probably from 2022. Construction is a lightweight EPS foam block wrapped in a combination of carbon and glass laminates. Online I see this should not be as durable as the JP Australia board’s PVC sandwich, but I’ve definitely been rougher with this board and there are no dings at all. So my experience is not matching up with what I’m reading online and I’d like to make sure my next board is not going to ding so easily.
I can’t buy new boards very often, so I need them to last several years.
