About XTR EPOXY TECHNOLOGY

XTR EPOXY TECHNOLOGY in Oceanside, CA, specializes in high-performance epoxy surfboard construction, offering custom orders directly from their shapers. Customers consistently praise the exceptional durability, light weight, and unique flex characteristics of their boards, often noting excellent communication and service from staff like Shey. This shop is ideal for experienced surfers and those seeking long-lasting, custom-shaped boards that maintain performance characteristics similar to traditional polyurethane.

The Good

Customers overwhelmingly praise the XTR board technology for offering an exceptional combination of performance characteristics: boards are light, fast, drivey (like poly), durable (resisting pressure dents), and waterproof, without the 'ping pong ball' feel of standard EPS. Specific staff members, particularly Shey and Javier, are frequently highlighted for excellent, responsive customer service, professional consultation, and successfully crafting custom shapes exactly to specification. The ordering and communication process is often described as timely and easy, with some receiving boards very quickly (under 10 weeks, even to the East Coast). Many reviewers state they are lifelong, returning customers due to the superior quality and longevity compared to other technologies.

Things to Consider

A significant negative experience involved one customer reporting almost non-existent communication after payment, resulting in delivery delays far exceeding the quoted 4-8 weeks (one board took 15.5 weeks). This delay caused the customer to miss a trip and sell the first board unused. Furthermore, the second board arrived slightly larger (1/2 L over requested volume) without confirmation from XTR staff. Minor quality control issues mentioned include one fin box sticking up ('proud') from the deck and one board arriving with a ding and delamination spots.
