Surfboard manufacturers use our foam because of its white colour, closed cells (which allows minimal resin absorption), neat finish and work ability. To many, it is a surprise that surfboard blanks are almost entirely hand made and require a high level of skill; from the formulation and preparation of our chemicals, pouring the chemicals into the moulds, to finally installing stringers and hand planing the finished product. This is a complex process that we at Southcoast have developed and refined over our 30 years of operation.
Exceptionally light foam which is not soft and is easy to shape.
Darren Handley - DHD Master Shaper
The foam is really good and hard. Makes a very strong board.

The foam is really easy to shape! It cuts easily but is still very strong. Danny's been lovin' the lite foam!
Michael Cundith – MC Surf Design
My team guys have noticed the lighter boards and are amazed at how well they are standing up!
Murray Bourton - Pipedream and Bourton Master Shaper
Southcoast's foam structure is really easy to shape, the cells are really tight and its not brittle like a lot of foam – so it molds really easy and is pleasant to shape.
