I think you mean is it Epoxy or Polyester resin and sure they uesed fiberglas.
I'm almost sure there is Polystyrene foam for the blank, so use only Epoxy and nor Polyester for the repair, if in contact with the foam.
If it would be just the skin you could use polyester but then again why, Epoxy is much stronger

Nice shape , would be good for the bigger days

Hi flowmaster, thanks for your help, really cool.

Sound good to me. I will chuck some epoxy on it and take it for a spin.
Its actually for guests / learners / wife . I'm happy with my 2022 Starboard pro, but at 28 inch wide most learners get the wobbles.

Still keen for any comments by anyone regarding this Angulo 9'7 x 30 board. i.e. age ? where it was made ? back stories etc. ?

I got the photo below off a old post on Seabreeze. Similar to mine but wider & bit square on the tail.

Cheers , all the best.

Thanks, Mark _australia, well spotted.

I had to google what that meant. Seems pretty legit, hopefully it does the job well ???.

I was focused on the shape and suitability for a learner of reasonable fitness .

I fixed the dings with epoxy , that worked well.

Still keen for any more comments on the board from anyone ???.

Cheers

That Angulo is quite old.... but the good news is everyone I know that had one, still owns it, still rides it from time to time.
They surf well, are stable and very durable.

Great score since they are hard to find

Cheers Supthecreek The comparison with the Starboard wide point shown above made me wonder if they influenced Starboard ?.
I think Angulo were getting tested / designed in Hawaii. Not many old sups get good reviews.
Seems like they knew what they were doing.
Thanks for the comments.
