Surfboard Manufacturing Methods

Bruce Jones Surfboards offers surfboards using three surfboard manufacturing methods:

  1. Custom Polyurathane/Polyester surfboards.
  2. Custom EPS/Epoxy surfboards
  3. Molded Epoxy surfboards

Custom Surfboards

Custom surfboards are hand shaped, hand colored, and hand fiberglassed surfboards, made in Orange County, California, produced using US Blanks polyurethane surfboard blank, or White Hot Styrofoam (EPS). These surfboards are not molded products or cheap imports!

Surfboard fins are included with each board if it has removable fins. Otherwise they are permanent, glassed on fins.

Pricing is for surfboards picked up at our shop in Sunset Beach, California. We can ship our surfboards anywhere in the world. There are packing fees to pack them correctly for shipping. Surfboards up to 7' 0" ship Fed Ex Ground for $45 to $100 depending on the destination and size. Longboard surfboards ship via truck freight.

Freight to a business in a major city within the 48 States is $105.00. To a residence add $10.00. We can quote freight rates to outlying areas. Shipping charges per surfboard go down when multiple boards are in a single box.

Any board that is not marked SOLD can be shipped within 24 hours! We can also re-make any board on our new surfboard stock list that is sold, and have it ready to ship within four to six weeks.

Please read our Warranty and Policy Statement. Due to high gas prices, we are also offering free, personal delivery on all surfboards within a 20 mile radius of the shop. If you have questions, please contact Bruce.

Retro Fish Surfboards

A retro fish surfboard design from the early '70's incorporates a very wide tail for early planning in small waves, a flat deck and full rails for volume and buoyancy, and is very fast. Fish surfboards won't stall in the flat spots and are ideal for everyday small surf!

They are available in different surfboard fin configurations: the Future Fish Fin set (left), the Future Keel Fish Fin set (right), or glassed on in any configuration.

Epoxy Surfboards

Bruce Jones Epoxy surfboards are built in a 2 piece mold that is built using a tuned surfboard master that comes directly from Bruce. The molds have heating elements built in, which allows the epoxy resin to cure at a high temperature.

Each surfboard has an EPS (expanded polystyrene) core that is shaped to an exact tolerance. The surfboards are hand laid up in the open mold, starting with a gelcoat paint, layers of glass, high density sheet foam (9 pound density) more glass and the EPS core, with super toughened epoxy foaming resin (20 pound density) on the rails for extra ding resistance.

The 2 halves of the mold are then connected and placed in a press. The boards are compressed in the mold, and cured under a high temperature. After the surfboard comes out of the mold it is sprayed with the base coat layers, clear coat, and polished. This yields s high performance surfboard product that is light, tight and extremely durable.

We feel that our Epoxy Thermal Lamination construction is the best process available in today's molded epoxy surfboard market. We also feel that our finish process is the best for duplicating Bruce's master. ESS- Epoxy stringer system. This is a set of three 8mm pvc stringers saddled in 4oz. glass, and pressed into a routed slot in the blank. The saddle of 4oz. glass bonds with the layer of 4oz. under the deck sheet foam to create a stiffer, stronger longboard surfboard than any other on the market today.
