    I have been looking for a few years for a 8' - 8' 2" Epoxy mini long board. Round nose. My problems are that I want it to be STRONG epoxy like three phase or something stronger. Not like the 1/16" thick epoxy boards searved up on the internet that break if you look at them wrong. My Southpoint could withstand a hammer. My other problem is that I want the deck and bottom to be solid bright blue or emerald green in color and polished. Does anyone know where I might find something like this? Or will I have to have it made. Willing to spend upwards of $500.

    I make custom epoxy boards out of South Jersey now, however you wanted them. double 6 decks AND bottom, can even do Volan if you want, any sprays, tints gloss polish etc. ANYTHING YOU WANT. But don't expect it to be $500.00.
    Experience, talent along overhead and a durable long lasting surfboard do not equal cheap.
    $500 equals Chinese made

    Tim Nolte in Powells Point, NC... I have got a few of his boards and love them all. Real East Coast deal. One hell of a person too. That's my two cents.

    I have an 8'2" mini longboard - shaped by Scott Busbey (In The Eye) out of Buxton that I am selling. Excellent condition- no dings, FCS fusion quad fin set up- I'll sell it for $300 PM me if you are interested.

    It is a "copy" of a CI Waterhog I had. Scott has been making very good epoxy boards for years.
    It is EPS foam (2lb I think), with a corecell deck (much harder) he uses poly foam on the rails- alot of my friends ride his epoxies and they hold up very well (plus he is a good shaper and very good guy) Light and strong, was about 600 new (and Scott's prices are very reasonable)
