Hi,

I'm currently researching a new board. I noted today McT does the Original in both glass and epoxy. I was wondering how the performance would compare for the same shape in different construction.

I was never a fan of epoxy short boards but I have had some guys tell me the epoxy Original is easier to turn and paddles into waves better than a glass board

I like the rocker in the Original as the my board is intended for 2ft to 6ft point & beachies. The reason I'm asking is that McT does the UFO in glass only. It has the same rocker as the Original and is something I'm considering.

Thanks

Thanks Asea,

I think the methodology is that epoxy has more float = better paddling and less weight in the nose to throw around - thats what I've heard anyway, I haven't had enough experience on both types or longboards to comment.

A mate sent this article which is not a bad read, doesn't really comment on construction. Pity I can't have 4 new boards.
