Why do surfboards need “Thermovents”?
Epoxy Pro has been making surfboards with Extruded Polystyrene Foam since 1991. All the surfboards made with these materials by Epoxy Pro or any company will in the long run bubble or blister under your front feet or rail due to the gas inside the foam. Hundreds if not thousands of stoked customers were eventually calling with a complaint about a bubble or a delamination on their surfboards. Many sleepless nights and countless ideas were spent trying to solve the bubbling or delamination problem, until one day, in June 2002, Javier and his son Diego started to vent a surfboard that was a year old and start a set of temperature tests until they discovered that the surfboard did not bubble!! Even at 140’F. Since then the vents have been perfected and also added to the rails of all short boards in 2004.
