Description
This is an Eric Arakawa designed useful thick 608XEPS superfused Expanded Polystyrene Blank – waterproof and very easy to shape. The best EPS on the foam market. this is the extra thick (3 1/4″) version 608X EPS which is more versatile. 2.0 pounds per cubic foot equates to 32 kg/m3. Designer Comments: “The ‘X’ is the maximum volume version of the 6’8” Superfused EPS. Designed for versatility to accommodate a wide range of board styles from Fishes to Big Guy Shortboards. The manufacturing process ensures uniform density and fusion throughout, thus allowing the shaper to use the maximum width of the blank if necessary. A close tolerance version to yield a quick shape and generate less waste.” ERIC ARAKAWA
