DHD STRINGERED EPS CONSTRUCTION FAQ
How do I look after my Stringered EPS Epoxy
It is ideal to make sure you take good care of your Epoxy boards to ensure they remain strong and durable. Always do your best to minimize the heat and sunlight your board is exposed to. The excess heat can cause damages and all repairs must be fixed with an Epoxy Resin.
What’s new in DHD’s latest construction ?
DHD has returned to Stringered EPS in 2025 – combining a traditional timber stringer with EPS foam and 160g BIAX cloth. This creates a board that’s stronger, more responsive, and performs well in all conditions, not just small or weak waves.
Why add a stringer back into EPS boards?
The timber stringer acts as a natural dampener, reducing chatter and improving control in bumpy or windy surf. It also adds flex and drive without making the board feel too stiff or reactive.
What is BIAX cloth and what does it do?
BIAX is a 160g fiberglass cloth that adds durability and controlled flex. It enhances the “pop” of the board while maintaining strength and longevity.
Which models are available in this new EPS construction?
-
EE Juliette – Best for performance surfing with more rocker. Fast, responsive, and lively.
-
Nexus – DHD's most versatile all-rounder. The EPS version adds even more spark and control.
-
Black Diamond – Proven favorite for bigger, heavier conditions. Strong, smooth, and still lightweight.
Can I use these EPS boards in powerful or windy surf?
Yes. Unlike traditional EPS boards that struggle in strong or messy conditions, this new construction holds up in everything from weak beach breaks to more powerful groundswells.
What’s the difference in rail design on these EPS boards?
Because EPS is more buoyant, DHD thinned out the rails to help the board bite and engage more easily, especially on rail-to-rail turns.
